I've seen Blu-ray disc manufacturers claim lifespans of over 100 years with capacities of 100 GB per disc. An entire warehouse of paper and microfilm documents would be able to fit in a shoebox.
- ocdtrekkie 8y agoNote that most record digitization projects are likely looking at live storage (online disk arrays), as it allows constant access to said records. Also note that the discs may last 100 years but having disc readers which can read them may not, and one would need to load all the discs to do a media conversion.
