Memorex Pro Gold Archival CD and DVDs with 24-karat gold reflective layer

Memorex launched new CD and DVD discs with a 24-karat gold reflective layer, high performance dye and its DuraLayer scratch-resistant technology. The Memorex Pro Gold Archival CD and DVD Media come with a lifetime warranty and they are specifically designed for archiving data.

Memorex Pro Gold Archival Media is the ultimate solution for securely recording and archiving critical data and precious memories. The 24-karat gold reflective layer provides maximum resistance to aging and chemical breakdown, and the high performance dye is extremely stable and ideal for long-term storage. Memorex's innovative DuraLayer technology is a special scratch-resistant hard coating that further protects the discs from dust, debris and rough handling. Memorex offers Pro Gold Archival Media in CD-R and DVD-R formats, making them the ideal choice for long-term archival of important data, photos, music and home movies.

Pro Gold Archival Media is also uniquely suited for professionals in need of a long-term archival solution for medical, legal, accounting, law enforcement or other government records. For software, music and video producers, Pro Gold discs truly serve as the ultimate medium for gold master recordings.

These innovative discs are proven to last up to six times longer than traditional media with a CD archival life of up to 300 years and a DVD archival life of up to 100 years. Laboratory tests prove Memorex Pro Gold Media to be resistant to the effects of rapid, artificial aging such as ultraviolet light, heat and humidity exposure thanks in part to gold's inert characteristics that prevent oxidation, a common cause of failure for most recordable media during long-term storage.

Memorex Pro Gold CD-R discs record at 52X speed and feature 700MB of data storage or 80 minutes of audio recording time. Memorex Pro Gold DVD-R discs record at 8X speed and hold 4.7GB of data or 120 minutes of video. Memorex Pro Gold Media will be on display this evening at the Digital Experience media event at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas.

Memorex Pro Gold Archival CD and DVD media will be available at several major retailers this April. Suggested retail prices for CD-R will be $11.99 for a three-pack with storage cases and $19.99 for a five-pack with storage cases. Suggested retail prices for DVD-R will be $14.99 for a three-pack with storage cases and $24.99 for a five-pack with storage cases.
