Far too many variables to get very specific.

The quality of the disk,
How it is stored and handled,
How well the drive functions,

I'm sure there are a few more variables that I did not account for.

I have had CD-RW disks loose their format after just 1 or 2 uses.

You can try wading through the specifications and technical papers here:
