For those of you into using optical for archiving:

Verbatim produces two products in CD-R and DVD-R that both seem intended for long term cold data storage/archival:

  • DataLifePlus

  • Archival Grade Gold

The Archival Grade Gold products are about twice as expensive. So based on this I assumed that they are of superior quality.

Does anybody know the difference in disc composition between these two products (one uses a gold layer, the other doesn't, but does that automatically make the gold discs superior?)

TIA
