"Especially durable" storage media have never proved

Particularly expensive and particularly safe or durable storage media are as old as sounds, images or data are backed up. It all experiences are that the over-expenditure has never paid off. On the contrary, the deviation from standard or proven production processes has been too often negatively affected. The presented tests prove nothing. And what is the US Defense Department for a test instance for DVD? I think that all of a successful marketing strategy. Who wants to secure its long-term data, should stick to regular brand goods, not too expensive, not too cheap. Secured today is that it is important to burn slowly. Since much wrong. 16x one should absolutely avoid. And we now know that DVD-RW media are probably more durable than not wiederberscheibbare. "Important things" do not take a lot of space. Even the most extensive family album you can safely burn several times and copy every few years and keep it in different places. This is safer than relying on ominous 1000 years pledge. That could be in a few years for a rude awakening, as one knew in the past, for example when videocassettes, etc. that have been touted for the 6- and 8-times the regular rates by major manufacturers as a "pro-archive-special", and then quickly to scrap were as many cheap goods.
