Im not going to comment on the "cost per" quotes you made
I will say that a dvd will last 100 times longer than an HDD
Plus if the HDD dies you lose ALL your data
unless there is a fire you will not lose all the DVD/CD,s
DVD/CD's are easier to transport,will handle shock,moisture and all other
things that will kill an HDD So in conclusion DVD/CD storage is cheaper in
the long run




DVD-RAM is used by the Pros, and out performs all other types of back
up..

Also used in Pro equipment..

To which "Pros" are you referring? And in what manner does it "out perform
all other types of backup"? Capacity? Speed? Reliability?
