What special measures are taken to protect computer media?
Computer media require different levels of protection. Paper is more durable than media and can tolerate a wide range of humidity levels and heat up to approximately 400F before igniting. Media such as computer diskettes, CDs and magnetic or digital tapes cannot survive higher temperatures or humidity levels. They must be stored in an environment that will stay between 40-90F and below 65% humidity in order to be protected.
