If I can't throw it in a box for 30+ years then it's not a reliable storage medium. A server that uses parity drives and regular data checks is a reliable system built on top of unreliable storage. It achieves the same data integrity but it's a lot more annoying and difficult to deal with. A huge stack of m-discs is not a good option either.

However M-DISK is around 30-100 years. >A huge stack of m-discs is not a good option either. What is your alternative? Maybe LTO tapes is then something for you? Mo Data mo Problems you know ;)
