Yes, storage is very important in the long run.

No, it’s not about the thickness. Most of it is clear plastic anyway, the data layer is only in the top few dozen micrometers. Also, all CDs and later 12cm discs were 1 mm thick by spec.

Yes, I am talking about the top layer - some are def thiccer and more scratch resistant (I didn't mean thicket like you would notice looking at it from the side).
