In article <2013@moscom.UUCP>, tmb@moscom.UUCP (Tom Bellucco) writes... "Help!! For the past couple years, I've been buying bulk 3.5" DSDD disks from "MEI/MicroCenter. I've bought THOUSANDS of disks from them, starting when they "were $1 per disk. Now they are $.45 per disk and they are shit. Out of each "200 I buy, at least 50-75 of them won't format DS. I figure they are just "using SS disks (because the SS disks are the same price). Back when the "disks were from $.70 - $1 each, they were great disks and it was a great deal. "Now it sucks having to return disks only to get more bad ones. Some of these "disks have "marks" (look like scratches) across the media that I just wonder "is doing to my drive. " Interesting - I just (well, a couple of months ago) bought 50 disks from MEI and they all formatted DS with no problems. A whole lot of people recommended them so I assumed their quality was generally good. Anybody elso having problems? chris
