Re: [ARSCLIST] Memorex CDs



The article does not mention gold discs specifically and is therefore uninformed.

Triplets.... Disc, HD, Tape...

Rotating media within 5 years... I know... do we really need to do this.

There are two types of people. The one's who has experienced HD failure, and
the ones that will.
I think this goes for all storage media. Any one that claims that they are
willing to trust a disc for 100+ years I would like to talk to in 20 years.


Interesting article today on MSN:

have a happy storage day...

There was a recent NIST study about gold CDs which reaches the same
conclusion, although with a somewhat shorter lifespa for CD- +/- 100 years.
It discusses and more-or-less disses the others types. I can't give a
citation but it was about a year ago.

Of course acetate recording tape flunked those tests and Ampex 456 from the '80s passed them with flying colors...

fool me once...
