Well, because now DVD RWs priced "only" twice as much we cost DVD R, it is worth considering to use them as mini-disk. I have a few of my Verbatim's DVD + RWs described already at least 150 times. And they still work. What is almost more important: They can always read after that !! Because it can sometimes happen with other DVDs that the burner burns without error, but no bit is afterwards to read more !! : - ((I know other DVD RWs that describe after 6 times were ripe for the garbage, including the data (seufts), such as Princo Why even for Verbatim's that I no burner is still under come the. they could not burn. And if there is still such a poor as the BTS. So you can with a clear conscience delete the data on the hard disk and read it any time with relatively fast pace (4-8 times) again. So highly recommended. And 15 minutes for a DVD + RW is acceptable. And rather spent 25 cents more for a Verbatim, as subsequently able to read any data. I know where of I speak (data Nirvana etc)
