- masklinn 7y agoThey claim to, but it's hard to determine that, and whether other archival-targeted discs (or which there are several e.g. Northern Star DataTresorDisc, MPO Gold, Verbatim Archival) are also resistant to disc rot, because it's unclear whether accelerated aging triggers disc rot in general or only some very specific instances thereof. (apparently defunct) syylex's GMD would most likely be structurally immune to disc rot, but you had / have to really really want to make your data rotproof: single-disc (4.7GB) order was 160€ (>$200 at the time). Not including VAT/GST.
