I have had many more uses out of mine, but then I regularly reformat
them which AFAIK rewrites ALL the disk, including sector one.

And it is unlikely that I would need to use my archived disks more than
two or three times, usually only when I need to re-install the software.

    Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
    and remember what peace there may be in silence.
