Is this some kind of RACE??
Mailing a CD or even many CD's is still cheaper and SAFER for the digital information than sending a 3-5 pound HD.
HD's are still much more prone to "Murphy's Law" events than a CD. IF the CD is lost, destroyed, damaged, you are out of pocket pennies, not $$$$ or ����'s for a HD.
I don't know what you guys are doing, but I use Fujifilm high-end CD's, have been using them for more than 3 years, have not had one of them EVER not verify, have never lost data and I DON'T burn "slowly and safely" taking 17 minutes for a burn. I burn at 12X speed and NEVER had a problem in thousands of CD's burned. As a Sys Admin of a 25 member staff, with several other members of the staff burning in exactly the same way, the Department has never had a CD Read/Write failure.
Purchased in bundles of 200 CD's, the price drops to about 19 cents apiece.
What little extra time it takes to actually "burn" the CD's is time to take a "get up and stretch" break, anyway.
Or maybe I just don't understand the true problem under discussion here.

Dear Patrick
A CD burning session I did recently when I burnt about seven CDs took this long.
1/ create new folders numbered CD 01, CD 02 etc.

Compared to copying via firewire from HD to HD it is a real chore.
