Interesting. I recently moved work from Sony and Imation to Fujifilm
media because we were finding far too many duff media and many seemed to
be CMC.

Just noticed SVP have genuine Verbatim branded Taiyo Yudens for £6.49 a
spindle so I think I may get some of those.

I guess it's just market forces, people want cheap media so most media
is cheap crap which makes the quality media look expensive.

cheers,
