I've read of places like museums using DVD+R media for archival purposes and
storing them in environmentally controlled vaults.
They think they can get at least one hundred years or more out of them.
If you think about it, in ten years you may have completely different buses on
the computer you have then and may not eve be able to plug in an external drive
of today. There is a lot better chance being able to buy a DVD drive what you
can use on the computer you will have then.

Some of my friends have been trying to convince me to go over to RAID 6.
Pj's comment adds to the thought that this extra complexity to preserve my
archives might be worth it. After all, the extra hardware costs is infinitesimal
to the value of the data. However, I'm not yet convinced. Therefore I would
welcome anyone’s personal experience (and does it work seamlessly with
Linux). What a RAID Hard Drive Array Is (and Why You Want
One)
My current Linux burner will not permit me to burn CD's at slow
speeds. Thus, I don't want to depend on them either now.
