We are multimedia producer/designers who have a big need for storing graphics files. Over the years, we have used Syquest, optical and Jaz disks and CD-ROM recordable discs. The optical disks are very slow and several have been unreliable and/or unreadable. The Jaz disks seem fine and are much faster, although we have heard rumors that others are having trouble. We have an older CD-ROM recording system that is a little tempermental. but a newer one should be fine. Some of our problem has been a factor of the hard disk and not the disc-recorder per se. CD-ROM discs have been a good option for us. However, the recordable type is not as durable as those made with a glass master, and you must make sure that you don't stick something like a post-it to the surface, as the film can lift right off. Hope this is helpful. Lois McLean, Producer McLean Media
