Default Archival CDs and DVDs

Any advice on which archival CDs and DVDs are good;
that is, really archival?


The "most" archival are the "gold" CD and DVD's with claimed lives in
excess of 100 years in benign conditions (dark, cool, dry).

However, it is best to be sure that they are manufactured in Japan or
Taiwan. Those made in India have a poor reputation for edge sealing.

Common CD/DVD's are good for 5 - 10 maybe 15 years in the same benign
conditions.
