Which is better?
I've seen before these types of CD:
1. Typical CD-R and CD-RW
2. A type of CD-R and CD-RW where the shiny mirror-like (underside) is in DARK color, instead of the typical silvery one.
3. A type of CD-R and CD-RW where the whole piece of CD is BLACK in color, as if it's made with black plastic resins instead of the usual transparent type.
I am looking for the type of CD-R and CD-RW that have the highest level of physical quality (not easily scratched, etc) and highest level of data preservation (data can be kept for very long without losing quality - something like datalifeplus by Verbatim).
Tell me:
1. Of all these different types of CD-R and CD-RW, which one is the best in the 2 qualities I mentioned? Please explain comprehensively why between each of them (this is where I determine who gets the 10 points).
2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the CD speed between 4x to 52x?
Note: I won't give 10 points for simple shortcut answers.
The link below is to an exhaustive article that covers the relative reliability/longevity of different color dye & reflective surface types. I recommend reading the entire thing- cutting & pasting would be a disservice to the author.
As for speeds, faster burn times are for human convenience, but don't increase reliability. There's no advantage to burning at 16x or 32x, except shortening your wait time.
The bottom line is to avoid using CD-RW for long-term storage, stick to -R (write once) media. Gold reflective surface discs are the best choice, superior to the more common silver.
Burn backup copies of anything important, and cycle your data/photos to new media types every few years. You don't want stuff on CD-R 40 years from now, any more than someone wants data these days on a Bernouli Box or for a more recent example, LS-120 superdisk. The time to migrate to newer storage technology is BEFORE your current archive media becomes obsolete and the hardware required to read it vanishes from Ebay.
At this point, DVD+R and DVD-R have surpassed CD-R as the preferred storage medium, that's what a capacity of 4.7GB vs 700K will do. And with HD-DVD and Blu-Ray coming out this year, even Dvd Recordable media is considered on borrowed time. It's a vicious cycle- by the time a technology is mature and widely available, something else has supplanted it.
