M-DISC

Postby rolf » 28 Apr 2012, 11:37

ImageOverview
The M-DISC utilizes chemically stable and heat-resistant materials that are not used in any other DVD or optical disc! These materials cannot be overwritten, erased, or corrupted by natural processes. Data is stored on the M-DISC by physically altering the data layer and creating permanent voids or holes. This new method of burning data is specifically designed to make your data endure the next 1000 years.

This looks very interesting to me. I just got this BD burner, where I saw the blurb about m-disc for the first time. At $4 a pop, currently, not cheap but, if it works as advertized, could be well worth it as the first time the optical disk really represents a practical backup medium. Supposedly, data is readable on any DVD+R/RW capable drive. :s

Aye... I second viking.
I'd rather be a free person who fears terrorists, than be a "safe" person who fears the government.
