As Sony exits, Verbatim doubles down on optical media — stable supply of discs is a "top priority" despite shrinking market
-
We regularly look at photographs taken at the dawn of photography, and read documents created hundreds or even thousands of years ago.
There is a use case for this tech.

Disc failure is the verbatim I remember, but I'm glad they're still around. My 2008 car has a 6 disc CD changer, and I have a few retro PCs which rely on CDs too. Yes, I know I can get adapters for CF cards and the like, but doing things the old way is the whole point.

Ideally you want stories to go with the photos. Your memory will fade. You'll forget some stories. For the stories you remember you'll forget details. Write the stories. The photos are a supplement for your stories.
I write notes on the photos.

Also I feel like at that point you might as well go tape rather than fiddle around with 40 Blu-rays.

Not wrong, but 30 years are probably good enough for most backup cases

Kinda afraid to even look it up or try it.

What's the benefit of cracking the drive?

I still burn discs every now and then. Definitely glad to see I don't have to panic buy stockpiles of them now.

My goal was to just use it as media storage, smol formats and minimal use cases
-
What do people normally store one write one mediums I feel like I'd have a hard time working with write once items except for like maybe just music storage
-
Probably that you can backup your own media
-
It's a bd writer, it can backup my media out of the box.
-
Yaaarrrr.

Photographer, videographer mostly, buy also data hoarder, etc. I still have all my pre-AOL data, too.
-
Most likely. Things like photos you want to live forever though, you never know what people will be interested in in the future.

Could you store a checksum of the backup with an NFT? Think I just threw up a little bit there, but perhaps there is actually a use case for them them. At least it proves the backup remains since it was created regardless of how many copies you have
