It wasn't stability, AFAIR there were times when a previous session could
not be accessed. It was a long while back and I just burned when +500MB had
been accumulated.

The gold disks are very stable, but multi-session is hardware dependent.
At the Cammie G. Henry Research Center, I only single write them, that is I
did.

I copy to multiple hard drives for archiving now, and have for about the
past five years.
