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.
I need to find a place that sells bulk DSDD disks, GOOD disks at a good price.
I buy, on the average, 100 a month.
And to think, Computer Shopper says MEI is the people's choice for best value.
HA! They haven't responded to my letters. When I call, they always ask what
kind of computer I have, then tell me to send them back to be cheerfully
replaced. I want them to be good the first time!
Anyone with recommendations, please mail me. Thanks.
