Unattended burned 55 times

[bonedaddy]

Hi all

I've kept track of at least 55 burns to the

same cdrw, a 24x imation, so far no problems..

any guess how many more before failure???

or perhaps someone knows the answer.........

bonedaddy

EDIT

Sorry Aaron, why not just del the post??

hi,

if u r extremely cautionous with ur RW u can rewrite it up to thousand times.

But most of the time a scratch will most likely be far more realistic than the 1000th rewrite

ehrm, :offtopic:

i think

supoosedly up to 1000 or more.

But like mention, a scratch will ruin the disc far before you reach the 1000. A scratch will probally be made by a dust particle in the burn when burning.

hi,

this one isn't offtopic in my opinion, because RW's r cheaper to use for tests on the real machine where ur UXP gets installed - u can't test everything in a VM....

but a VM is cheaper then buying a new computer to test on

good thing i have alot of extra parts. Enough to build a 2ghz machine.

@alanoll,

and how can i test drivers in a VM???

You can't VM only emulates the hardware.

I've used my current CD-RW for atleast 150 writes, I'd say.

It now looks pretty old, but survives. My other discs have been similarly used as well - you can expect atleast 100 writes, if you maintain/store that disc with proper care.

my cdrw it's a survival one

i've burned it for 100 times or so and hypothetically it can be burned for 10000 times!

the problem it's that my LG CD Reader scratched it many times and now installations are slooow and sometimes i've got to restart them. f***** LG CDR

DVD+RW's are about the same if anyone asks. But they're easier to scratch Goodthing I have 200 DVD+R's and 50 RW's. I've gotten about...oh....140 burns on the RW so far.
