Why do you want to use CDs to store images. The maximum size of a CD is 700 MB, only good for a few digital images.
We use hard drives only. (Forget about DVDs,they are not good for long-term storage). -----Original Message----- From: Jansonius, Remko (Vizcaya) [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 2005-12-30 (ζζδΊ) 8:18 To: [email protected] Cc: Subject: archival storage of CDs After a year on the job I have collected loads of digital images - scanned, shot, donated. It's time to put the master files in storage. Is there a general consensus on what materials to use? What type of CDs? Is there a specific pro or con to use CD envelops (compacter) or jewel boxes (more rigid)? Does anyone have good experiences with specific CD drawers/boxes/cabinets? Is there anything I am overlooking here? Any and all comments are appreciated! ... and a good new year to all!
