They last a lot longer than the tape - based computer storage of yesteryear , but ocular discs , particularly the type you cauterise at home , are n’t guaranteed to survive even a decade . So if you want to pass on that nuptials video / holiday exposure / copy of Caddyshack to your slap-up - great grand kids , you ’ll want to opt forMillenniata ’s new 25 GB Blu - ray compatible M - DISCswhich are guaranteed to last at least 1,000 years .
The M - disc — which burn data onto a more lasting layer made of metal and metalloids or else of constituent light - sensitive dyestuff — have survive as received DVDs for a few class now . But that put up just a paltry 4.7 GB of depot capacity . The raw Blu - ray version of course hike that to 25 sarin , and although the record need to be created on an M - DISC compatible burner ( many are these days ) they can still be played back on a steady Blu - ray player . So it ’s get that goin’ for it , which is nice .
Available in August there ’s no pricing info on the Blu - ray edition of the metre - DISCs just yet , but a 10 - pack of the videodisc versions are about $ 30 , and you could anticipate the high capacity variant to be a second more expensive . But when you break down the per class cost in terms of selection , this is the stack of the century — err millennium . [ MillenniataviaSlashGear ]
