Priced at less than 60 cents each, one CD-R can store a humble 700MB. It was once the ultimate storage media, but as DVD and larger and cheaper harddisks pick up, this media is becoming more and more obselete.
But that's not all, TechARP reports that 10% of all CDR burned actually goes to waste - they do not last long. So before you lose all your precious childhood memories, or important files. Do make multiple backups. On another hard disk or pendrives, or perhaps make multiple copies of each discs. They are dirt cheap nowadays.
Forget what the manufacturer claim, whether it's made from super durable material, whether it's claimed to work for a century or so, better be prepared than to be sorry.
