Does this mean that you want us to vote on them or something...

Personally I use the Warehouse Transonic ones for normal unimportant use,
but I use expensive Medical quality ones(ordered through my work) for
important data that I dont want to lose.

WTF?

Medical quality?

Does that mean safe for inserting in body cavities or something?

I would like to know which you think are the best brand, for keeping data
over a long time, arriving stuff.

Also links to reviews they have stress tested these disks.

Nah, it means that we have an agreement saying that they will work in 20
years or so(I think it says 25), just the same as they do today...
They cost about $7.50 each I think... but I pay more than the hospital does.

I use Ricoh, because they are a good quality brand name disk, and I have
never had one fail.

Also I get them at a good price when buying spindles of 50.

No way would I pay over $1 per disk for any brand when I can get good disks
for well under that. (About $30 incl for a spindle of 50)

Holy ****, $7.50 each! I’ll stick to my Ricoh disks at 60c each. (Or my
DVD-R disks at $2.80 each)

BTW
If the disks don’t work in 25 years and you lose the data, what then?
