Are you inclined M-Disk in that group?
- dragontamer 5y agoBy memory, it feels like M-Disk was a bit "too late" to the party. By that point, BluRays came out and it was cheaper/more reasonable to just double-write your data on two BluRays. Eventually, M-Disk BluRays came out, but no one used optical anymore. M-Disks were probably the best archival format for optical when they came out (at least, if their archive-quality claims are truly as good as they claim). But they always were a bit more expensive and/or late to the party. Being #1 in optical when optical is dying is not really a win...
- xtiansimon 5y agoI get your point. Certainly not if you want to buy blank media, or replace a burner. Like minidisc. That was a fantastic medium. I loved those discs as artifacts—like having your old mix tapes. But once the player broke...only some random players on EBay.
