Yawn, 500GB hard drives with a 5-yr warranty are regularly on sale here for $169. I'm very less than impressed the the "archival" properties of burned CD and DVD media.
Optical media has been promising far more that it actually delivers since day one. Believe it when you see it.

Agreed to a point, which is why my video projects for others are archived to HDD's and put in a vault. I do, however, do my OS backups to both HDD and DVD-RAM (backup copies).Dr. Mordrid
