bought 50 from a shop thats closing down.

Manufacturer ID: POSG04

g04 = ritek?

If these are any good going to go buy the rest of the guys stock.

Gonna test them tommrow.

Someone said they could be made by postech? but they are deffiantely not made by ritek and neither do they use the G04 dye. i've also seen a few people saying they've been tricked into buying them as they were falsely advertised as ritek discs.

I have never heard of any Ritek disk having the POS designation. :laugh: Seriously though, it would say G04 Ritek if they were Riteks.

POS = Piece Of Sh$%?

Anyway, I'm moving this to the media forum.

lol you might be right.
