Verbatim CD-R 700MB 52X UltraLife Gold Archival Grade - Branded Surface & Hard Coat - 50pk Spindle

Very interesting product and I love it very much

The metal is on the scale.Deep burning long time love with these Archival Verbatim Discs

Good quality blank CDs. I use them to burn music CDs to listen to my favorite music in my car in high fidelity that you can't get from radio or cassette. The plain unlabeled surface lets me write on the label side of the disk without writing over other stuff. If you really want something to last for a really loooooong time, you need M-discs (and a special CD drive that can burn them), but these are still better quality and longer lasting than standard blank CDs.

I thought that these would work on a CD Recorder, but they do not. However, when making copies of a completed CD by ripping to Legacy Windows Media Player, (be sure to select the highest bit-rate setting), they do provide first rate archival copies. They expected dark-storage life is said to exceed 200 years. That certainly long enough to match Bern Convention Copyright (Life Plus 125 Years), and protect one's rights well into the 4th generation of one's family, when needed for proof. They're relatively inexpensive, given their lifespan, and actually do have a gold layer. (Gold does not readily oxidize or form chlorides).

These cds are at a pretty good price for a gold archival disc . I could not give 5 stars longevity because they sould outlast my life time .
