The thpical lifetime of a CD or DVD or BlueRay is about 3-5 years depending on the handling by the user. I'd like to see them outline the claim that this media can last "billions" of years. It sounds highly suspect, as does all the other claims in the article.
- terafo 5y agoIt is very durable. It withstood 1000 degree heat for 2 hours in referenced paper, there are no moving parts on the storage itself, it doesn't require additional energy to sustain records, records themselves don't deteriorate over time, and glass by nature is quite resistant to mechanical damage(outer few mm obviously shouldn't be used). If stored correctly, I see no reason for it not lasting a few million years.
