Not M-Disc which is rated to last for 1000 years and can be burned with consumer grade burner.
- masklinn 7y agoThat's just the company's claims. When the Laboratoire National de Métrologie et d’Essais performed an extreme conditions accelerated aging test (90°C and 85% RH) they found the M-Disc to be no better than most quality DVD+R (<250h), with MPO's Gold and Northern Star's DataTresorDisc reaching 250h (but not 500) and Syylex's GlassMasterDisc surviving almost unscathed to 1000h. Sadly it looks like Syylex is as dead as Millenniata, Inc (though it looks like Verbatim still sells m-discs).
- Erlich_Bachman 7y agoTo be objective you should have mentioned that US Department of Defence did a similar test and they did end up claiming that M-discs lasted for longer than regular discs. It looks like someone took over the production of M-Disc (wiki: "The debt holders subsequently started a new company, Yours.co, to sell M-DISCs and related services."), not sure about Syylex. Syylex seems like the perfect solution (making discs in glass, the material that is routinely used in chemical labs due to it's inertness), but the problem always was that it cannot be burned at home...
