‡ 1x-4x CD-RW discs are write-compatible with most standard first generation CD-RW drives, or drives featuring the
High Speed or Ultra Speed logo.
4x-10x High Speed CD-RW discs are write-compatible only with CD-RW drives featuring the High Speed or Ultra Speed logo.
10x-24x Ultra Speed CD-RW discs are write-compatible only with CD-RW drives featuring the Ultra Speed logo.
* This is the most common. Compatibilities are based on specific drive manufacturers.
** Lower speed drives might need firmware upgrade to write this media.
*** Most of the new DVD+RW drives will also write DVD+R media.
NOTE: Newer drives being introduced are becoming more and more compatible with multiple media types.
Compatibility depends on drive. Check with drive manufacturers for compatibility and speed.
