Should i use a DVD+RW as a Giant Floppy disk?

[guyz92]

Hi,

Recently i lost a Sandisk Cruzer Slice 4GB. All my data gone.

Now I am thinking of using DVD+RW with UDF 2.01 as a recoverable storage.
Since now most computer have DVD writer, why not be antique and use a DVD+RW as a giant floppy disk like last time where USB thumb-drive were expansive.

The only problem that windows XP need extra plugin to work correctly.
InCD 6.6 is needed to work well with UDF format on Windows XP.

InCD Download:
Windows 32bit
Windows 64bit

Any suggestion are welcome.

lol CD need to put in and wait the reader scans for a while,and writing data is very noisy and slower than pendrive..

A CD Would be cheaper and u can make alot so if 1st cd gone gt 2nd cd ^^

what i suggest is no, some DVD-RW will just be destroyed after very few time of rewriting.

It is not using the standard method of using CDFS.

It uses UDF 2.01 which is written in packet data. So data lost is low. With Mt-Rainer options enable, data lost drops even more.

Anyway thx for the suggestion.
