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 I'm way out of date with my 25GB BDREs!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 -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Arthur Fuller Sent: 14 January 2013 21:48 To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] 1000-year DVD 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.
