DVD-RAM can be damaged by several methods including being written on by a pen. Nothing digital is crash proof. DVD playing has a slower access rate so jitter can become a problem on conventinal equipment. A good SATA Hard drive can keep up with almost anything. The best bet is redundency. Good backups go a long way. You can use either tape or redundent HDs for this. Static memory in theory would be even better but even solid state memory can go bad and its expensive per MB compared to CD/DVD/HD.
DVD-RAM better than Hard Disk?
Being a well defined specific issue I thought this may be better served by its own thread.
One friend emailed his opinion that DVD-RAM and HDD are more convenient than +RW or -RW media. However, he adds, HDD can crash but RAM is crash-proof: Therefore, , DVD-RAM is the single best choice for a recording medium, even better than HDD.
Would everybody agree with that?
