Best disc for storing data?

[NightTran]

but what do you think Chewy? your opion count I gave away most of my verbatim even the one with the new pioneer I will give away too

[Chewy]

night,
I put more trust in yours and my scans and the poll at cdfreaks than that website, my last batch of verbatim had about 5 bad blanks in it ranging from disks that scanned 50 when burned to others that were bitsett and wouldn't play(but scanned a 95?)

Before that I had 2 small batches that were excelent

[NightTran]

Thanks for your input, let just say I will burn all mine media TY and YD until the BLURAY go really low

[Chewy]

test a few of those new verbs, they might surprise you in the pioneer

[katzdvd]

a weak 3rd and 4th

how did I miss that? Must have scanned over it too fast! (Looking at the TY's!)

@ night -

verbatim is a show for scanning I had a few that scan really good but 6 months later it show less then 50% quality

thanks for the info; I have approx. 100 Verb discs backed up, & since I date them all & record the scans, I will keep an eye on them, to see if I experience the same problem that you have after 6 + months.

doesn't sound good...

regards, katz

Some of the old verb I was burn with 1620, Nec 3550 and even with Plex so the final result now it is still from the verb itself, I think it will be here on thursday I will try out both new benq 55 and the Pioneer

I will try to buy more Bneq 40 tomorow or wed when I check CompUSA

Kat, I just swap them out now one buy one to TY or YD after they hit below 90

[Chewy]

I have several older verbs that scan low, they have been handled some and
since I didn't scan when they were burned, they probably would have been
70-80QS when new. Verbatim had a lot of quality control problems when they
started outsourcing their manufacturing but they are good grade A media now. Some studies have shown verbatims to do better in longevity than
TY. Really a crap shoot.

[NightTran]

Wonder if they got paid for those test , I dont save the scan but I wrote on the out side of each disc what was the quality scan was on what date then I rescan later that is when my blood presure go up

[Chewy]

what were you scanning with? back then?

[NightTran]

1620

[Chewy]

the disks are going bad then, they were good scanners

[NightTran]

I rarely scanning with lighton because it's too slow only 4x

Just did a scan on a rw disc that I burned last January, I have a pic of the scan results, how do I get it in here?

[joe113]

The little attach file button does not work with firefox!

[joe113]

Scanning a third rw disc, so far so good, disc no. 2 was the same, 100% good. Can I safely say that the data is good with those results?
