I have asked to a CD_RW manufacturer how many times may I burn a CD-RW with reliability. They have answered that data can be retained in the media for 100 years.
As you can see they did not answered my question, because I would like to know HOW MANY TIMES I can burn a CD-RW in a regular basis.
Could anybody answer this question ?

Thanks in advance.

most that I have seen "claim" a reburn capability of about 1000 rewrites

Yeah, everyone figures 1000 times.

I've had several go out on me, but most of the time it's a bad TOC burn and you can't erase it.


Hmmmm.....my MICROWAVE will erase that little jewel....
