mgz:
ill just say what everyone else already said and add one thing DONT PUT THE TOPIC IN ALL FUCKING CAPSLOCK IM PRETTY SURE THERE IS A RULE AGAINST IT FUCK HEAD.
on that note buying a hdd will be much cheaper safer and longer lasting if you simply wish to back your current series up on it and then leave it sit unplugged and static free

It usually works very quickly and efficiently and I myself have never had it disappoint or deliver unexpected results. Incredibly user friendly as well.

Yes, and the issue seems to be a lack of space. I'm saying that its a bad idea to try to store your data on DVDs now. They are more expensive than HDD, and less reliable.

Don't base your purchase decisions on brand names.
Manufacturers of certain brands of discs differ depending on location. For example, TDK Gold DVDs (both +/-R) sold in my country are made by either of these manufacturers: CMC Magnetics and Taiyo Yuden. Taiyo Yuden produces some of the best discs in the world while CMC Magnetics' quality varies. CMC Magnetics is the same manufacturer of brands like Imation and Memorex (fyi: all three are brands are owned by Imation). Both are sold at about 25 USD per 100 pcs.
Another example are the BenQ discs are recently bought. The discs are sold at about 20 USD per 100 discs. At first I thought the discs were just an ok purchase. When I checked who made those discs, I was in for a big surprise: the discs were made by Mitsubishi Chemicals (Verbatim). This made my purchase a really good deal. I've also thought of the possibility of the discs were fake but the chances of them being one are very slim.

This man tells true!
And if you REALY need to store data at DVDs take Verbatims! - Best of all I used.
But then, I spend tons of cash at cd few good years ago, and I want to trow them away but i dont have heart :(
I stoped buying DVDs/CDs. My friend had collection of about 5000 cd with movies few years ago. He burn them, watch few times,
one day he wanted to watch them once more - suprice - they were like 70% of those 5000 corupted thanks to localization he used to store them
- Sunny place near window - after 6m - 12m those cd got corupted :(
Sad but true story, I prefer to buy hdd, fill it with data, plug it out of pc (longer life) and store it in closet :) And remamber YOU can rewrite Hdd any time you want!
wolkec:
you dont burn anime to disks, you download it from bakabt :P

im beginning to think that dvds might be a bad idea for storing anime.. guess maybe i should drop this topic and ask what recomendations in choosing hdds.. 1 terra is a bit too much.. mayber less than 500gb is fine... ill use the recomended dvds for temporary storage for the mean time until i save up some money. :) again thanks for advice ;)
