Joseph, I'm afraid your message is not clear. Initially you mention CDs and DVDs for storage and then refer to disc. by which I take it you mean hard drives.
Respecfully, I would suggest the neither CDs nor DVDs are suitable for long term storage. As well as the potential problems which have been mentioned elsewhere in this thread, they loose their retentive properties over time (just like me).
