When it comes to saving your work, images, photos, or any type of files, you've got two choices: CD-Recordable (CD-R) and CD-ReWritable (CD-RW). CD-R discs are inexpensive and work on most CD-ROM drives and CD players, and they cannot be accidentally overwritten-perfect for long-term archiving. CD-RW discs, on the other hand, can be written up to one thousand times and can be read on most Multi-Read CD-ROM, DVD-ROM and CD-RW drives.
This chart will help you choose the right CD-RW™ disc for your needs. Both CD-R and CD-RW discs are reliable and comparatively inexpensive. Iomega® brand CD-RW discs come conveniently preformatted, saving you time.
