I figured that erring on the side of lower humidity would likely result in longer media life than erring on the side of higher humidity.
Perhaps I've been staring at the algae on my 'kiln dried' lumber for too long. :)

Damn, I tossed some of those just recently! Never found a use for them yet.
I was thinking I'd just pack the box indoors. The specifications for humidity for most discs seem quite wide.

Taiyo Yuden tests at 23 C and 50% RH.
