5.0 out of 5 stars These DVD disks will outlast me! No problems on a Mac., March 5, 2007

I did a good deal of research online, looking for archival quality DVD media that would last longer than standard DVD media. From what I've read, "preliminary testing" suggests these gold archival quality DVDs will last a hundred years. By contrast, standard DVD media varies in longevity, on the order of perhaps 5-25 years, depending upon the environment and manufacturer (and the average user can't accurately predict how long a given standard DVD will last). I selected MAM-A (formerly Mitsui)'s Gold Archive DVD-R media to store my electronic medical records, where longevity is very important.

I burned 4 of these DVD-R disks using Mac OS X 10.4.8 and Apple's Disk Utility at 8x speed with no problems, on a Power Mac G5 (Quad). I use the factory DVD drive that came with the Mac. All 4 passed verification of the burn.

Excellent product.

Although rated at 8X, it is best to burn at a slower speed to reduce the number of possible errors.

These dvd's are very dependable are are great for archiving purposes. The data is supposed to last longer than the material they are made of. Leave them blank. Only label the jewel case for maximum longevity.
