The poll you cited is not scientific.
While TY are good discs, there are others that have been tested to have
superior archival quality.
Also, for the OP....
Burning your discs at faster than 2X is also responsible. The faster the
burn speed, the less likely the disc is going to last for 2 or more years.
I have CD discs that I burned in 1998; they are still working. I keep them
in a cool, dim place, and I recorded them at no more than 2X. They are on a
wide range of brands. Point is, they all still work.
