You get what you pay for. I would never buy "cheap" for critical data. Actually, I don't buy cheap anyway.
When CD-R's first came out there were a number of media brands (most notably CompUSA, I think) where the recording layer of the disks would peel or flake from the disks after a while, making the disks useless. I was just wondering if I have to worry about the same thing from any of the DVD-R/+R media manufacturers. So far I haven't had any issues with compatibility with my burner, but I'm worried about the physical longevity of the disks, especially when I see cheap sales like the current one in CompUSA (100 DVD+R's for 14.99 is about as low as I've ever seen.)
Thanks for your help,
