went to 2 local compusa's after i got off work (9:30am). i picked up 12 packs at each location. 720cdr's should keep me in the vcd/svcd and audio cd burning business for at least 2 years
i don't know about you guys, but if i have anything important to backup i back it up on 3 dif hard drives on 3 dif systems.
and aren't cdr's supposed to be good for at least 10 years if stored properly?

Did you get a cart or something?

Got three spindles, my store had none at the display but plenty of them in the metal backet some ten feet away. Anyway first I'd like to say that IR applies to each spindle individually so you can buy only one or two spindles if you like, dunno if you can snatch more than three for that price though.

And ATIP - as it turns out these are prodisks which are supposed to be pretty decent for noname, at least much better than CMC, although as with every cheap media the quality may vary. I'll use them for pr0n and family photos...

Manufacturer : Prodisc
Code : 97m32s19f
Disc Type : CD-R
Usage : General
Recording Layer : Dye Type 9: Short Strategy (Phthalocyanine)
Recording Speed : n/a
Capacity : 79:59.72
703 MB
Additional Capacity : n/a
Overburn Capacity : not tested

damn, I passed on the deal because I thought you were guarenteed CMCs which I have had HORRIBLE luck with.. I have some prodiscs that have kept fine for years and when I saw you post this I immediately went to get some but there was a BIG sign on the front door saying they were out I guess they were tired of telling people that they had no more

*sigh* well I was just sure I could come up with the link to a quality survey that had hard numbers concerning percentages and data loss over time with various media, but DO have a look at this article on dyes!

And also this link of interest concerning media quality, try it for a jumping off point

I save my important data for my TY's also, though I've had a few TY's fail on me while all of my other CDs (outside of the HQ ones I bought which were complete crap) have been perfect...lost valuable data on some of my TY's for some reason after the surface flaked off after taking them out my CD wallet...these are Fuji TY's...was disappointed, but still have the mindset that TY's are the best...

That article on CDR quality is fine, just don't look at the quality results because they are obviously outdated.
