It was back in 1971 when Memorex made its first steps in the consumer market, producing high quality recording tapes. Throughout the last 40 years or so since its creation, Memorex has offered a wide variety of storage solutions including recordable media, both CD and DVD, flash media, mini discs, diskettes, storage devices such as CD/DVD Recorders, memory sticks, even media cases and labels as the list keeps getting longer.

Some of the capacity is used for formatting and other functions and is not available for data storage. As a result, your operating system may report fewer megabytes for data storage[Nextpage]
