Review on πŸ“€ Maxell 638006 DVD-R 4.7 Gb Spindle - 2 Hour Recording Time - Superior Recording Layer - 100 Year Archival Life! by Todd Amarsingh

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very reliable backup media

I've been using these drives for over 10 years to back up my files, from family videos to my work/home archives. They have proven to be very reliable. Although I come across some drives that "lose" data from other manufacturers from time to time, I've never had unreadable Maxell drives. new Blu-ray players to play. As convenient as cloud storage is, there's no EASIER way for them to look at the label on a DVD and find what they want to watch. As USB drive prices fall, many people use USB drives as backup options. They're much faster and denser, but I've had bad experiences with them. If they fail, you pretty much lose everything in it. When I used a DVD for backup, I created recoverable images so I can always recover my files, or at least most of my files, if (and if) one of the drives fails. Sale.
