Does Hi-MD Usage decrease Lifespan?

[Guest Anonymous]

The only thing that is holding me off from buying Hi-MD player is how the player reads the disc. Constantly writing onto the second layer... wouldnt that drastically shorten the life of the disc? (or certain songs, if you listen to it a lot)

i realize that only certain sectors of the disk get enlarged (what youre trying to read), but i think that eventually the magnet would need to work harder to switch the polarity of the sectors as the odometer goes up, dont you think? if anyone can prove me wrong on this, then im 100% going to buy the nh800.

There's a possibility that the lifespan could be not so favorable, but it's like that with optical media in general. I believe the writing/reading method Hi-MD employs [with the heating and such] will not produce a significant loss of life. I've read over alot of information relating to DWDD, MSR and such and I can honestly say I'm speaking the near-truth.

About your username, you're going to have to use something else. Sorry.

but don't MDs record with the Magnetic head over the disk?or i think i read that somewhere...am i confused...tell me something...the writable surface is at the bottom the dark side..the bright side.? what does the Magnetic head do there..cuz the lens only read the dark side..does it?...MDs can't record without the magnetic head n i'm sure of that not only that but the head must be in direct allingment with the lens...i'm confused..just reading ur stuff about shorter life span for the disks struck those questions....
