    Yep. Do the math. ~1,000 r/w cycles X $cd-r = BIG SAVINGS. Unless you
    are burning something for permanent record, the choice is clear. Those
    CD-Rs sure do make nice coasters, though...

    Well cdrecord et al can *blank* a CD-RW disk so that you can use it
    again. That is a very good reason to use CD-RW media.

    At the moment UDF formatted discs that can be treated like a hard drive
    are not supported but I believe support is coming.

    Best, Darren
