There are what some people consider standard life-spans for such media, but
I would not consider those hard-and-fast number, because there can be
variables based on the particular conditions that exist in the particular
storage facility (temperature, humidity, and other environmental factors)
that are not accounted for in those standards life-spans, as well as the
particular media itself.
What should scare them more is not having a hard-and-fast number compared to
having a known life-span.

Subject: [RM] Electronic media stored with paper records at a storage
facility
Does anyone know what the lifespan of electronic media e.g., DVDs, CDs and
diskettes is when it's stored at a storage facility in a non-climate
controlled environment with paper records? I like to advise folks that if
they store electronic media with paper records in a non-climate controlled
environment that it might impact the integrity of the media.
Thank you.
