No way I want to loose a few GBs of data

		That assumes it's data back-ups that he's burning... rather than 'back-ups'.

		I have one optidisc that came with my pioneer A104, it is a DVD-RW though, only used it twice but works fine in my comptuer, and Apex DVD player....doesn't work in PS2. now Princo's have all worked for me, why people don't like them i don't know, got them from allmediaoutlet.com and every one has worked fine (well aside for the ones that I screwed up). $1 each and they play on my PC, DVD player, PS2, and Xbox. Memorex discs work well too, but are more expensive.

		throw away disks i dont mean ill burn a disk and then put it in the trash bin i mean once i make a back up of something then i will make another back up on which im not affraid of it getting damaged ( the disk i will use over and over - not worrying about sunlight or anything else)- why because i have another back up to make a back up of plus the original in a box in a nice and safe place

		just felt like bumping this thread Riteks are good discs and Newegg and a couple other places are selling them for less than a $1 a disc when buying a 50 pack

		rima.com is another good place to get discs. ive been using the ritek 4x printable surface discs. purple bottomed perfection. i used to use princos but a buddy of mine had hundreds of "master" discs on princo that suddenly stopped being read by anything, so he rushed to get as many as he could transferred over to riteks.
