CD only holds 700MB?

Question

I just bought a 50-pack of CDs from a company for $250. They said they were 'super-cds' and hold 100GB of data each. That seemed cheap because that would give me 5000GB of storage! But, when I burn them, I can only put about 700MB on them. I don't know what brand they are because they are blank and no writing is on them. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

What you did wrong was believe that 100 Gb of data can be stored on a single CD. The maximum commercial size of disc-based media that I know of is the 18Gb, double-sided, double layered DVD. You can get blue ray discs up to 25Gb, but they're upwards of $80.00 per disc.

I think, my friend, that you got ripped off :(

Answer 2

Regular CD's only hold 700mb.
You were ripped off I have never heard of regular CD's that hold 100gb of data.There is no such thing.

Those people who sold you the CD's are con artist's because they gave u false information on something you paid for.

Try to return them as soon as possible and get your money back.

Answer 3

Buddy it seems you were cheated as there is not CD for 100 gb yet in the market, you can get CD for 700MB of a DVD for 4.7GB or 8.5GB.
so better contact the better biz bureau n contact that merchant to give you money back...

Answer 4

Hey,

There's no such thing on the market. I would suggest contacting the supplier and maybe whoever deals with false advertisment in your state.

Answer 5

Common Dvd's only hold 4.7 or 8.6 GB,
Super CDs hold 100 GB ??? 100MB maybe...
That makes no sense, where did you buy them,
sent them back...

Answer 6
