True but maybe there is more of a chance the disk and information on it will be found if it is valuable. A rock may be ignored because it's so common.
All we want is for the information to be read by someone after that it doesn't matter what happens to the thing it's written on.

A rock may be ignored because it's so common Well, a modern first-worlder wouldn't ignore a rock covered in writing, but peasants overwhelmingly do just that. If you want durability, stone isn't a good choice either; poor communities repurpose worked stone into the things they want, because breaking up a big wall somebody else put up a long time ago is much easier than quarrying your own new stone and hauling it back to town. Tungsten would probably be a good choice -- a primitive society would be unable to melt it.
