Use CD-RW and DVD-RW like a removable disk
Cyberlink's InstantBurn-5 software turns your CD-RW, DVD-RW and rewritable BlueRay discs into a removable media drive. You can drag and drop files from folders, send unwanted files to the Recycle Bin for deletion, rename files, and change file property information. The verification function checks whether data has been written properly, ensuring the reliability of the data. InstantBurn supports UDF (Universal Disk Format) versions 1.02, 1.5, 2.0, 2.01 and 2.5. The only unfortunate fact is that it's a MS Windows-only product, supporting Vista, XP, etc., but no Linux or OS-X support at this time.
One suggested use of this product would be to put a DVD-RW or BlueRay-RW drive in a PC with InstantBurn-5 software and then share the re-writable disk across the network as NAS storage, using it for instant archiving of data to an optical disk. The beauty of the solution is that you don't have to master the disk and do write-at-once burns of your data - you can keep writing to it as needed until full and then replace and continue archiving data onto a new re-writable optical platter.
All-in-all another great product from CyberLink. Check out the rest of their media editing and mastering software as well as PowerBackup for PC data archiving.
