They last years... perhaps decades (but they haven't been around that long). But this depends on the environments they are kept in. But them in a damp, dusty, dirty room and mold could grow and damage the material the disks use... but store them properly in a moderately low humidity environment in protective casings, and they'll last a LONG time. The 1000 write estimate is based on the fact that they tend to get scratched over time.

DVD-RW discs may be written to about 1,000 times before needing replacement.

a dvd-rw will last thru about 1000 burn cycles, and if looked after corectly, should last 3 years at least, but depeding on the quality, maybe less maybe more :)

If you scratch it then it is a waste from the first time so keep the surface clean
