Annemarie,
Look on the web for NIST Special Publication 500-252, I believe it will have some information on life expectancies for e-media.

I'm looking for an authoritative source of information on the expected lifetimes of various types of electronic storage media, such as CDs, DVDs, magnetic tape, etc.
Can anyone help with this. I've seen this type of information in articles, but not in a format that would be suitable for distribution to staff.
Thanks,
Annemarie
