IE, CDRW or DVDRW? CDRW disks seem to have a very limited lifespan, typically perhaps 5-10 cycles at best, and appear to degrade in storage fairly fast, often becoming unreadable within a year. DVDRW disks appear to be worse. If you quick erase them (at least via nero), they no longer work at all, and a full erase takes nearly an hour, much longer than it takes to write them. Considering they're about 5 times the price of the write-once variety, is there any point in bothering with them?
