Check with Panasonic and Toshiba. I think they have one. You might 
also want to read up on why Panasonic thinks the DVD-RAM disks are 
more archival than regular burn once disks. I have no idea if what 
they say is in any way true. I've had the best luck with Panasonic 
DVD-RAM, but Imation has also worked OK. CompUSA brand has not been 
great, but it does still work. I've had my drive for 3+ years if that 
helps.

And people could go back to Travan type tapes if they want, at least 
those have a few more years on them, plus large amounts of error 
correction build in. There are other error correction methods through 
software, but last time I mentioned those nobody cared so I won't 
bother.
