CD-R lasts longer than CD-RW?

I have been told that DVD+-RW will last longer than DVD+-R
But what about burnt CDs?
Does the RW version have shorter archive life (and lets say we only
write once
and not reuse it many times)?

According to the CD/DVD manufacturers, the shelf life of all CD/DVD is
5-10 years. The archival life of all "R" media is about 100 years and
that of all "RW" is about 50 years.

"RW" will last longer than "R" may refer to the conjecture that the
shelf life of "RW" seemingly can be extended to that of archival life by
burning something to it. This, however, hinges on the assumption that
the "overwrite" capability is retained throughout the archival life.

For laughs:

Mike Richter (Slimy Friggin ****) crapped:

Note that results so far suggest that DVD-RW and DVD+RW are
no more reliable than CD-RW.

Thus, DVD-+RW is unreliable, I presume?

Anyhow, what results are those? What's the source? Did you just
dig that out of your ass?

Is CD-RW unreliable, Mikey?

Once upon a time the supposedly *inherently* flaky, fragile,
forgetful, unreliable CD-RW media was good enough for BACKUP,
even when combined with the supposedly *inherently* flaky,
fragile, faulty, unreliable packet format -- according to
none other than the slimiest friggin SOB Mike Richter:

I strongly recommend using write-once discs if
jetjock hopes to have the backup readable later.

Why is that Mikey? Have you established that DVD-+RW are
unreliable? All you presented -- without substantiation,
only on your say so -- is that DVD-+RW are no more reliable
than CD-RW.

If DVD-+RW are indeed unreliable --as you slimily intimate here--
why don't you dig it out of your asshole and explicitly say so?
