You seem to have a bad attitude ... not just in this post, but generally.
If you have a point to make ... if you have something to say, do so.
But to simply say "that review was wrote (sic) by a moron" is a poor
reflection on you, not on the reviewer.

so what type of issues are you having?
Well, the first issue I am having is that I paid a higher price that I
should have. I paid for the more expensive "RiDATA" discs, and they
shipped
me non-RiDATA discs.
The second issue I guess I am having is the concern over the quality of
the
discs. What type of longevity will they have? Do I have to worry about
them
not working in a year when I plop it in the player?
Ritek must "downgrade" these for a reason. And, I paid a premium price
for
them not to be downgraded.
Who likes to buy a Cadillac, but drive off the lot in a Ford? Just
because
the Ford hasn't broken down right away doesn't mean you've "got your
money's
worth."
Get your money back and have a read of this site.

Well, to be brutally honest about it... the linked review wasn't
relevent. It was about Ritek's low grade brands, which everyone knows
aren't good. He's right... if you want Ridata disks, order Ridata. If
the store sends you the wrong kind by accident, send 'em back and have
them send you the proper kind. It's really not that complicated.

The whole point, fellas, was that Meritline is ingorant on this whole issue. |
They do not understand that RiDATA discs will be branded as such. I DID
order RiDATA, and they didn't ship me RiDATA, yet they insist that these
"non-branded" discs are RiDATA.
"dos" is just as much of a knucklehead as they are. |

The poster said he asked for ridata but got the non branded ones which
are the poorer cheaper crap grades which is why I posted it.

I got branded Ridata disks from Meritline last week. Get an RMA, return
them and get them to send you ones that say Ridata on the hub in
exchange. They have them.

Meritline will refund your money no questions asked, has been my
experience.
My RIDATA's have all been branded on the hub.

I just purchased a 500 pack of Ritek RiDATA G05 8X DVD-R discs from
Meritline. These ones are silver-shiny.
I usually buy the same discs, but matte. The "matte" discs have "RiDATA"
emblem embedded in the clear plastic center hub. These new silver-shiny
ones do NOT.
I contacted Meritline and they said that the silver-shiny "RiDATA discs"
do
NOT look any different from the lower grade silver-shiny Riteks. Are they
blowing smoke up my arse?
DVDInfoPro says that both discs (verified RiDATA discs, as well as these
new
ones) are both Ritek G05. So, I cannot see anything different between them
in DVDInfoPro, but wouldn't Ritek brand their RiDATA discs?
Ritek DOES brand their RiData discs. The OEM packaging (Red
shrinkwrap) has a branding stamp (it's like a branding iron hit it) in
the hub that says RiData. The Retail packaging (plastic cake box with
shrink wrap) has RITEK or RiData written on it and an arrow design in
opaque, matte colourless silkscreen.
The crappy surplus Ritek ones ("Arita", or grade B/C) have no markings
and look the way you're describing them. These are NOT RiData discs.
The Media ID is the same on all, since they're all manufactured by the
same company, on the same lines, on the same equipment, probably even
in the same run, but these didn't pass QC or weren't tested.
I'm not saying that Meritline is lying to you, but you might want to
get your money back.
---------------------------------------------
MCheu
I agree 100% with everything you said. I've purchased the matte RiDATA discs
many times and it ALWAYS has RiDATA stamped in the center hub (hard to see
unless you look real close, but it is always there). This batch has
absolutely NOTHING except some black batch/lot numbers or whatever. I
emailed them and got a response from "Ivy" who told me that RiDATA
silver-shiny and regular Ritek silver-shiny look *identical* and you cannot
tell them apart. I would think Ritek would want to boast about their "RiDATA
brand" whenever they could, so I cannot see them releasing them like this.
I'll call them and at least negotiate a partial refund or return.
Thanks for your replies.
