DVD Forever
The other day I bought a copy of Nero2014 online.
Sucked in by end of financial year specials!
A key feature is a tool to recover deleted files on disk and USB sticks.
That's what sealed the deal!
Reading further about the offer, it also has a tool called SecurDisk 3.0 that enables you to burn critical data in a more durable and secure form on CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray disks.
Sounds wonderful and it probably is.
What struck me was some statistics viz.
- The average home PC hard disc breaks down after 3-7 years
- CDs/DVDs/Blu-ray disks break down after 2-15 years
Only last week I had an old VHS tape of family memories converted to a DVD disk.
I need to make a mental record to replace the DVDs in 5-10 years.
If you're buying software online, then be patient and wait for the specials.
What is a VHS tape?
ReplyDeleteIt was a recording media used probably before you were born.
Deleteand I really thought that CDs and DVDs would last my lifetime.
ReplyDeleteI'll do a fresh burn just to be safe.
