As Sony exits, Verbatim doubles down on optical media — stable supply of discs is a "top priority" despite shrinking market

Because in 20 years your memory will be lost. But you'll run across the photo and it will be incredible. It will both remind you and fill in the gaps that your memory lost.
I have all the best photos of my kids printed every year into a photo album. I don't trust digital despite having 3 copies. My 100 year azzo verbatim DVDs kept in black cases in the basement went bad after 10 years. Mdisc on paper should actually last 100 unlike azzo but I don't trust it either.

True, I'm no data hoarder. Just seems like it's a very small niche that this fits into. Never had a hard drive fail on me, but I'll give it a couple more decades lol

Ooo I see! That's awesome!
Yeah unfortunately we don't have hundred-years data on them lmao but at least it would still be interesting to see how examples of such disk go as years and decades go by

MicroDisc also was like a floppy.
And IIRC, that format was also a Sony thing. They were always small tho, and had less capacity.

Verbatim for the win

CD-ROM discs came in caddies early on. They weren't popular with consumers I would guess. MiniDiscs were designed with a protective caddie.

A few won't. I have a disc that looks as if it was tested with hot needles many times just for fun.
