funny how my old Vic20 and C64 datasette tapes and 5.25" floppies still work great after 29 years but CD's I made 9 years ago are 85% bad:pissed:

personally I don't trust any of the flash memory technology for long term storage. I sometimes get scared thinking that all my kids photos since birth are on digital media which will eventually go bad while my parents have cherished family photos from over 100 years ago still in decent shape:idea:

I have many tapes and 5.25 floppies for my Commodore and some are well over 20 years old and they almost all work now i find that quite amazing

Its about time, my last hitachi disk did not even last 2 years :pissed:

It strange but new hard disks fail fast i have 5 there are around 20 years old and they still work. but many new do not last more than 5 years. Do you think they are cutting corners now and use cheap material to make them these days. It is the same with Playstation 2 and DVD players, they rarely work more than 5 years before they break down
