[dba-Tech] 1000-year DVD

Hi Arthur

No Blu-Ray burners?  I'm puzzled - have they gone out of fashion, or something?  Mine's nearly five years old;  I use
rewritable BDs for my ultimate offline backup/archive.

...

Just had a little look round - more recent BD formats include BDXL and up to quad layer, with storage of up to 128GB.
Internal drives mostly cost around GBP60-70 in the UK.  I'm way out of date with my 25GB BDREs!  Although I don't really
need to store stuff for even 100 years.

But it would take only 20 of these high-capacity BDs to take 2.5TB

John

The company has promised Blu-Rays for commercial delivery by summer. But even then, it's going to take about 50 discs
for you. I have no idea how much a Blu-Ray burner is, either. None of the stores local to me even have one in stock.
