Digital BW, The Print

From a freelance IT tech's perspective:

- Hard disks simply don't last as long as they used to. This may be a  
byproduct of both vastly-increased capacity of current HDs combined  
with their commodity status, where one can buy a 1TB internal HD for  
under $100, and the fact that profit margins on HDs are nowhere near  
what they once were (the "real" money is in SSDs now).

CDs and DVDs, in fact, *aren't* all the same. I've settled on using  
Verbatim DataLife Plus CD-R/DVD-R media, which hasn't failed me yet  
after years of disk burning.
