CD/DVD Rom - All RW medium. posted in the Hardware forums; How do you check if your RWs have already used beyond its limit? IS there any software to check the status of your RWs?...
According to http://www.answers.com/topic/cd-rw?cat=technology, a CD-RW has a rewriting cycles life (ca. 1,000). If course, the cheaper the disc the shorter its life span. Recommend using a USB flash drive. In the long run, it's less expensive for multiple rewrites.
