Millenniata’s 25GB Blu-ray M-DISC has 1000 year lifespan

[gadgtfreek]

Unlike the regular M-DISC, which has a standard capacity of 4.7GBs, the Blu-ray M-DISC features 25GB of storage space, and obviously requires a Blu-ray disc drive to work. It still offers the other features of the DVD M-DISC, and is aimed specifically at individuals who require both high-capacity and a long lifespan for long-term data archival.

Millenniata says using an M-DISC is equivalent to engraving data in a stone, both because the disc lasts 1000 years and because it is virtually impervious to certain conditions that render a regular DVD or Blu-ray corrupted. The M-DISC is capable of handing exposure to heat, light, and humidity without degrading. The lifespan was determined via testing under the ISO/IEC 10995 Standard.

I also saw where Cinram or whoever was adding more lines for blu-ray replication due to demand. Good signs.

So the disc will outlast any equipment that could possibly read it?

You can simulate all you want but really time is where you find out if something will last that long.
