Title: What is the difference between these blank Hi-MD Mini-Discs besides price??
Post by: Darren on July 21, 2010, 02:02:03 AM

I'm ordering a Sony MZM200 from Amazon.com this week and can't tell if it comes with a blank disc or not so I'll get a couple of blanks to be sure.

(I'll finally get to flawlessly transfer shows I recorded on MD 1998 - 2004. ;D )

However, I see two different blank Hi-MD Mini-Discs available.

What is the difference between these besides the price?

This one is $9.99 per disc

This one $5.35

I've used em both in the past, and as far as I could tell......  they are one in the same.  Just different wrapper.  And, I think the red and blue wrapper has the HiMD disc in a case that is similar to a DAT case or something.  Hard plastic that you can open and close like a CD case.  And the white wrapper has the HiMD disc in a hard plastic "sleeve" that you slide the disc in.  Besides the case, they should perform the same.
