Delkin Devices DDVD-R-SA 100 SPIN 8X 100 Year Life Span Archival Gold DVD-R (100 Pack Spindle)

Don't trust your precious memories to just any storage media. The innovative materials found in Archival Gold media make them one of the most reliable storage mediums available. DVD-R’s and CD-R's are known to deteriorate quickly due to Earth's common elements: ultraviolet light, heat, and humidity. Using N.I.S.T.'s (National Institute of Standards and Technology) accelerated aging process to test the longevity of DVD-R and CD-R media, Archival Gold media have been shown to safely store your images for more than 300 years for CD-R and 100 years for DVD-R.

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I'm using these for an archive project at work. Had five coasters (out of twenty) early on --- and with the cost of these DVDs, those were *expensive* coasters --- and at least two were due to manufacturing flaws (edge crack on one, while the other had a very visible pock mark where the burn process failed). However, I also had a very pleasant, instructive and productive e-mail exchange with a Delkin Customer Service Representative and a new ten-pack of DVDs arrived two days later. As for the discs themselves, the quality of materials is visually evident, and they have no problems being burned and read on any of my DVD burners (Samsung and H-P) using Nero. I'm not planning to be around to actually test the "100 Year Disc" longevity claim, but, if I am, I'll be sure to post an update to this review. ;-)
