One of the figure captions says they are storing 75.6 GB on one of these sheets. But I couldn't find any data on how long it takes to read and write, other than it's slow. Does it take minutes, hours, days, weeks?
And I guess at least the reading can be somewhat parallelized to speed up?
- ben_w 7y agoOne week to write, 3 days to read: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/11/microsofts-project-silica-offers-robust-thousand-year-storage/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/11/microsofts-project-s...
- faeyanpiraat 7y agoIts a 1 Mbit / sec write speed if I calculate it correctly.

- mey 7y agoCan't find much info on M-DISC, but https://www.verbatim.com/subcat/optical-media/m-disc/ https://www.verbatim.com/subcat/optical-media/m-disc/ has it as hundreds of years. Silca is claiming a thousand years.
