How Many Times Can A DVDRW, DVD+RW and DVD-RAM Disc Be Rewritten?
It is estimated that a DVD-RW or DVD+RW disc can be rewritten approximately 1000 times and a DVD-RAM 100,000 times. How Long Will Data Recorded On Writable DVD Discs Remain Readable? Manufacturers claim life spans ranging from 30 to 100 years for the different types of disks but all of this is difficult to verify. The life span of a written disc also depends upon a lot of factors including such things as the different properties of the materials used in the disc’s construction, the quality of its manufacture and how well it is recorded and with what equipment and also the way it has handled and stored.
