"Where did you hear this? Mitsui claims, 'Stored at room temperature,
Mitsui DVD-R discs have an expected lifespan is in excess of 100
years.'. They also say, 'Mitsui is also the only DVD-R available with a
gold reflective layer that is suitable for archive applications.' "
-----------------
3-4 years is probably short. It's more like 8-10 years, when the
hardware to read the disk is no longer available. Who cares that 5-1/4
floppies have a life of 5 years or 50 years. For most folks, there's
nothing to read them with now.
