Yeah I work for a place that uses discs for archival in addition to tapes and the discs do have specific requirements for storage, like opaque boxes in a temp and humidity controlled room. The discs are also some fancy Japanese brand I’ve never heard of. Probably best not to pickup a pack of CD-R at the walmart and use those.
This was also evident when they had that TOW test which should have been a simple point and shoot but the missiles were either so old or faulty they just fell into the ocean right after launching.
