[Anonymous543]

i think cd/dvd are the cheapest media storage
but people says it easily gets scratchs
if i take good care of my cd/dvd ,
then is there any chance of getting scratchs with cd/dvd readers/writters??

There is always the chance of a scratch when handling optical media, if you have a good working player/recorder you shouldn't get scratches from that.

Hard drives are cheaper than CD/DVD. And far more convenient. An 8 TB hard drive costs about US$150. 8 TB of DVD (1700 discs) costs about US$425.
