|

I need to burn 70 gigs of stuff off my computer.
Do I need to let the drive cool or anything or can I just burn one disc after the other?

One after another should be fine?
Might I recommend that you buy an external HD instead? And this should be in the Hardware Zone.

oh yeah, my mistake, my bad 
When a mod see's this please move to correct section
anyway, one after another should be fine? I mean, its gunna take me hours to do if i do one after the other, but if i have to take a break in between, its gunna take forever
oh, i cant afford and external hd. only dvds, they are dirt cheap right

oh i get you.
I just checked factorydirect and they got a 320 for 79.99.
You could still pick one up for back up and stuff.
But yah it shouldn't fuck up. Tho it's like 18 dvds might give it a break after 6.
y'know. Take it easy. Eitherway it'll take you over an hour. Don't rush it.

I have burned countless DVD's one after the other and not had issues. Although, if you burn like that all the time it does tend to wear the drives out faster.

70 gigs on standard 4.4gb disks will be only 15, it's nothing for decent burner

I used to archive to dvd's a bit before storage got so cheap. However with 500GB externals being sub $100 it's hard to justify the time spent.

I want them on dvd because they are all the stargate sg1 and Stargate Atlantis shows and my dad wants to watch them (he's in the hospital). I plan on bringing a lap top for him so he can watch all the seasons cause he's a big fan too.
And I want them for record sake. I like having things on dvd as they are more perm you know?

tell that to my 5 year old burns that don't read correctly anymore  |
well, it depends on the condition you keep the cd/dvd's in. I plan on keep these in a good container so they should last a long time |

decent media, all kept in cases. it's only the odd one that gives me trouble, but that's enough not to trust them |
well, every year I reburn my important dvds. whether they are games or movies or whatever, I reburn them for integrity |
