![]() Too many other hardware review sites were doing what we considered to be poor benchmarking and reviewing of drives and others were just re-worded Press Releases. To bring a website dedicated to bringing truthful, informative reviews and news to optical storage enthusiasts. Our real jobs keep us in touch with technology, and that makes us able to offer insights that you would not be able to get elsewhere. to being a systems administrator at a Big 10 college, our staff have a large knowledge base and a wide variety of experience. From designing supercomputers for Cray Inc. That is our mantra.įurthermore, what qualifies any of us to bring this to you? All of us work in the computer industry in some form. You will be able to make an educated decision. When components are tested, you will know the machine driving that component down to the very last detail so you can judge our work. But what if we were burning at 8x off of a USB Zip Drive? Would that change your mind as to the quality of our testing, and our ability to give you a straight recommendation? Of course it would. Every review we do will have explicit details about what test systems we used, what methodology was used, and what benchmarking software was used.įor example, we could tell you that a certain CD-R has buffer underrun problems, and therefore should be avoided. We would not want you to think otherwise. In research, you are urged to be skeptical of information until you know the people behind the experiment and the methods used to bring results. When having a portal was not good enough, the CDR Labs was spawned to give the world what it was lacking: useful, truthful information, quality reviews of hardware and software, and an eye to the CD-R Industry. A plan was hatched to create a CDR Zone, a portal to the world of CD-R related reviews and topics. A few "hardware review sites" would do a review from time to time, but the depth and consistency of the reviews turned out to be less than desirable. People kept asking if there was a really good website for optical storage related information. Dropping media and hardware prices and the ability to put 650mb or even 700mb onto a disk and take it with you became appealing to everyone. About a year or two later the CD-R industry exploded. We maybe had at most 20 people in the channel at a time. This was way before every kid on the block had a CD-RW. The majority of the people here at started as ops in #cdr on Efnet nearly 15 years ago.
