I think CD-R comes in 2 flavors:
Write Once Read Many for $0.79 per 640mb in bulk, and
Write Many for $16.00 per 640mb in bulk

If speed is not an issue, The doctor is right, he should go with the WM disks.

If capacity is an issue, go with Jaz, as you can organize jaz disks easier than CD disks (labeling, and archiving them)

Sometimes you need to look beyond the hardware cost issues and argue the training/ease of use issues.

Remember hardware is only 20% of the cost of systems implementation.

And is the system for current demands or demand growth?

It does not require a techie head to rationalize explanations and requirements.

Also, ask Rocky and others about data/video storage. they are more knowledgeable.

BTW, how big is an MRI image and how many images on average are taken during a scan? How are they currently archived?
