26. Pros and Cons of DVD-R, DVD-RW, and
DVD/RAM
26.1. DVD-R disks are the fastest to write and are the most universal but can
only be written to one time.
26.2. DVD-RW disks can be written to many times, so they can easily be
modified in the field. They are not as universally readable as DVD-R disks.
DVD-RW disks must also be formatted before use. This process can take up
to 20 minutes per disk.
26.3. DVD-RAM disks are also re-writable. They can be formatted in seconds
and within the cartridge they are very robust. The Read/Write speed is
relatively slow.
