The Tuffdisc CDRW is being marketed as a disc that is stronger than other discs the extra strength being attributed to an extra layer applied to the top surface to protect it.

Media manufacturers have been introducing their own innovations, mainly in the field of media surface durability. Manufacturers such as TDK with their Ultra-Durable Armor Plated Recordable DVD and Datawrite's "Titanium" are two that have been hitting the headlines in the past few months. Now, CMC surges onto the scene introducing "Tuffdisc". Tuffdisc media has been overprinted with a tough pebbledash finish producing a media top surface that is more scratch resistant and more dust resistant than standard DVD media.

The extra top layer does not add durability to the dye surface, but CMC are using a high quality dye on their Tuffdisc products so the data/music/video stored on a Tuffdisc should withstand the toughest of everyday handling.

Tuffdisc's offer highly affordable pricing when compared to premium branded media such as Datawrite, Datasafe , Ridisc TDK and Verbatim.

Tuffdisc are working with CMC to produce a range of products including DVD-R, DVD+R and CDR. As you can see, the pricing is looking very competitive and if the quality is as good as other media that we have seen from the CMC factory then this media will be a big hit.
