Unrelated but... having lived through the 00's I always found writable CDs and DVDs to be such a shit unreliable tech. It always seemed like discs might work ok with some drives but not others, or just stop working after a few weeks, and they really didn't seem tolerant to even minor scratches. Just awful.

I have hundreds of burned discs that work fine. If you bought cheap discs you got what you paid for.

I really only burned Audio CD's and DVD-Video movies. I haven't had any issues. All the ones I've burned still work. Data DVD's, less reliable. I have lost data on those. I burn Blu-ray movies now. I don't think they'll last long.

I found that the shiny black chrome looking disks seemed to be better than the purple tint kind. Chemically different media. Its anecdotal, not a scientific tested theory
