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

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.

This is why you add a disc reader and a laptop that can run directly from a power brick without a battery installed in the safe. This way the next generation has a way to read it and transfer it to modern media.

Burned DVDs use a dye that turned dark when hit with a laser. The dye was claimed to be stable for 100 years but wasn't. Mdisc is different and should last longer.
