Re: Slightly OT - Millenniata - permanent storage?

2011-11-18 by Mark

It's a noble attempt, but the concept is flawed not due to material durability, or even hardware obsolescense in the conventional sense (although these points could also be debated). The flaw in this approach is the data density. Give it just a few more years, and today's optical discs with this level of data density will be about as useful as 8 inch floppy drives are today. I've already abandoned CDs and DVDs as a digital image storage medium for this very reason. They don't meet my current data capacity needs due to poor read/write times and sheer physical size of the media, and I'm not a anywhere close to being a prolific photographer or videographer.
