I second Taiyo's.
They are the best kept secret of mastering engineers who've used them
exclusively for the last 15 years, when they cost a couple hundred a piece.
I haven't bought anything but Taiyo's for years, and have yet to lose data
due to degradation.
Datalife plus's use the original gold substrate I believe. Gold is very
stable. it's the plastic that will go first.
They say 70 plus years.. but I'm sure the plastic will start to weep out
much sooner.

Not so, Taiyo Yuden and Verbatim Data Life Plus are very good DVD
mediums for back ups. I did months of research and found these two
offer the best backup quality. If you don't have terabytes of data to
back up DVDs are a good choice. Make multiples and store in separate
locations. If you have lots of images, terabytes, then hard drives
are a better choice. Again 2 copies in separate locations. This is
the way I archive video projects which most of the time are very
large in terms of the media. Hard drives these days are pretty cheap
$100 per 500 gigs. choose high quality drives, Seagate or Hitachi are
the best drives after 10 years of testing and use for video and
photography storage.

Firewire is a bit faster but interface doesn't matter for backups for
the most part.
