I have hundreds of burned discs that work fine. If you bought cheap discs you got what you paid for.
I've heard this a million times.
I certainly never bought the cheapest discs. It's been a decade but I think it was verbatim usually.
Verbatim in my experience have consistently been the best of everything they’ve made. Also usually the most expensive so they’re not really what most people will buy, unfortunately. Memorex has been a pretty good mid-range, I’d even put it just below Verbatim. But when people buy these shit TDK stuff… you’re not gonna be happy.
Anyway these days you can stick what… 2TB yet? on a microSD. I know that discs offer the not subject to magnetic damage but still… they fail after age far earlier than promised when they were sold.
Fault tolerance is the best for anyone who can afford it. Only way to make sure stuff lasts.
Verbatim varied quite a bit along its range of products and over time. Some of it was the best on the market while other stuff was absolute garbage.
