[QUOTE="Ruidoso Bill, post: 7765, member: 753"] There is media far superior to the cheap walmart cd's and dvd's. Delkin's eFilm Archival Gold CD-R's incorporate a Phthalocyanine (thalo-sy-a-neen) dye and a 24k gold reflective layer into every CD-R. Delkin claim that eFilm Archival Gold CD-R's can store images for more than 300 years. I'm not aware of any independant tests that verify this, but gold/pthalocyanine disks should have the longest lives. I realize this is for cd's but there are also dvd's of archival grade. I don't need 300 years and am more than happy with 100 or so, archival grade media. I think this makes a lot more sense than a multitude of external hard drives, they also have mtbf data to consider. MAM-A are a very affordable option. [URL]http://www.gotmedia.com/mam-a-dvd-r.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
