M - Disc: a storage medium that is 1,000 years?


Millenniata, a small American company, comes to associate with the Korean giant LG for the implementation of a whole new storage media is to take a very long time. M-Disc is a very close optical drive from the traditional DVD. Same capacity (4.7 GB), it reads on any type of DVD player. Except that its design allows it to withstand extreme conditions for 1,000 years!



On a M-Disc, the data are "engraved on inorganic materials, which cannot be overwritten, erased or corrupted by natural processes", says Millenniata site. His writing is done via a specific writer who "alter physically recording layer by creating real holes".



As a result, the M-Disc are therefore not rewritable. If the storage size is currently limited to 4.7 GB, the US firm plans to support densities of most important engraving for his support in the future. Finally when it comes to price, the cost of returns is logically important, since it was announced 3 $ $ (a little less than 2.10 euros) exhibit. Here's a short video demonstrating the reliability and soundness of the M-Disc.
