I know the first generation CD/DVD disc are known to "go bad" - the
material itself somehow degrades and becomes unreadable by modern drives.
I'm not sure if that's still the case with newer or more modern CD/DVD disc
(not just that they're newer, but are they a more durable material or
casing?)
Choosing the right blanks made a world of difference. The as I said recently, all the
Verbatim DataLifePlus I’ve tried to recovered have been fine. The main data I lost was
stored on a DVD-R blank from another manufacturer.
I’m now looking at switching to Verbatim M-Disc’s.
As part of my recent efforts I’ve regained access to data that while live on spinning
disk, had become corrupted sometime between 1997 and 1999.
