Don't go for a promotion and buy several from the same production lot. Did
that one time and the three discs died the same week... So super low but
possible.
Last year I checked many backup cds from the past
before throwing away.
Some written in 2002 were working and most written in 2007 were failing.
The fist recordable CDs were *a lot* more expensive then. I guess you get what
you pay for.
The hard drives written back then still work.
I got some Samsungs that would never power on after a few years on the shelf.
So, for very important data, I backup on everything :)
When you loose data and have no backup you can curse your own stupidity. But
when you know you are secure because you have a backup and then your backup
is unreadable...
