Club CDFreaks - Knowledge is Power - View Single Post - Which DVD+R media is best for long-term storage? [2006-2007]

*[buck]* · 18-06-2006

I voted for MAXELL003, MCC003 (I meant to check MCC004, too), and YUDEN000T02.

YUDEN000T02 is one of the best discs available for initial burn quality, and most realworld aging data suggests these discs are highly stable.

Burn quality with MCC003/004 is nearly as good as YUDEN000T02, and I haven't heard many complaints regarding stability. Having said that, CMC Magnetics made MCC is the only outsourced MCC I fully trust. I just plain don't trust anything made by Prodisc for long term use, and MBIL seems to have some underlying burn quality/write strategy problems.

Finally, I chose MAXELL003 because it, so far, seems to have the best overall consistant burn quality of ANY MID! Couple that with this accelerated aging test where Maxell took top spot, and I'm convinced that Maxell can make some seriously kickass media when the "put their mind to it". In order words, their premium grade media.
