I need to find an adapter for this stupid HD-DVD drive from 2008. Sorry, this is before my time.

I have hundreds of burned discs that work fine.

I've heard this a million times.

I certainly never bought the cheapest discs. It's been a decade but I think it was verbatim usually.

    Verbatim in my experience have consistently been the best of everything they’ve made. Also usually the most expensive so they’re not really what most people will buy, unfortunately. Memorex has been a pretty good mid-range, I’d even put it just below Verbatim. But when people buy these shit TDK stuff… you’re not gonna be happy.

    Anyway these days you can stick what… 2TB yet? on a microSD. I know that discs offer the not subject to magnetic damage but still… they fail after age far earlier than promised when they were sold.

    Fault tolerance is the best for anyone who can afford it. Only way to make sure stuff lasts.
