I would recomment against Nashua. A friend had quite a few and over a couple
of years almost EVERY ONE failed. Luckily, since he was using them for archive
by the time they failed, he didn't really want the data on most of them
anymore.

I have stuck exclusively with Sony and Maxell and have never had a failure.
