I use DVD’s to store data. 4.7 gigs sometimes isn’t enough. Vacation photos can sometimes exceed 8 gigs. A weekend of photos can hit 4 gigs easy. I’m uneasy storing my photos on an external hard drive. I’ve already lost several thousand when externals decide to kick the bucket.

But I imagine DVD’s are susceptible to the same thing that happens to CD’s... some kind of fungus can eventually start degrading them.
