HP CD-R - 52x Speed - 10 Pack

CD-R (Recordable) discs can be written to only once. CD-RW (ReWritable) discs can be erased and rewritten multiple times.

These CD-R discs are generally compatible with most CD players and CD-ROM drives that support the CD-R format. However, compatibility with very old or specialized players is not guaranteed.

When stored under optimal conditions (cool, dry, dark environment), data on CD-R discs can typically last for 10-100 years, though actual lifespan can vary.

The '52x' refers to the maximum data transfer rate for writing to the disc. 1x speed for CD is 150 KB/s. Therefore, 52x equates to a theoretical maximum data transfer rate of 7800 KB/s (approximately 7.6 MB/s).

No, these are CD-R discs and can only store audio or data that fits within the CD format's capacity (700 MB or 80 minutes). They cannot be used for DVD movies which require DVD media.

Clean the disc surface. Ensure the disc was burned at an appropriate speed for audio and that the burning software finalized the session correctly. Test the disc in a different player.
