Hi,
What CD-R media brand is known for its longevity and durability (if there is any)? Cause I wanna make some important backups, and want them last me a long while. Thanks.

Memorex works great with me, it would be great if you found black ones.
 
TDK

i use TDK CDRWs. They have worked fine for my backups.

But the manufacturers themselves have their own quality ratings so you just have to shop around.

Memorex are fairly cheap + work really well, i've never made a coster with them :p
 
I have used both brands and never made coasters. But I will say the Memorex ones I have had a problem when putting them in plastic sleeves, seems like the top layer likes to stick to the plastic, tearing small pieces away. And guess where the data is really written? The TDK's on the other hand work fine in plastic sleeves. Go for the cheaper memorex if you have actual CD cases, but if you put them in a "holder" get TDK's.
 
:D
Just what I needed to hear! Thanks everyone, appreciate it! Other opinions are more than welcome! ;)

BTW, about the coasters, it really depends on the burner you have.
if it is burnproof and fast, and u have a good comp to give memory performance, then you have no problems at all!!

Good Luck

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
