Re: I keep hearing this, I don't believe it said by DaMaGeINC:said by r81984: Optical media will not last much longer. Thats been true for years now........... And I'm betting it will be true for years to come. Optical media is still the best archival medium in the market today. Flash drives still have a limited lifespan (albeit a potentially long one... they will still eventually lose data). A CD/DVD/HD-DVD/Blu-Ray will retain the data in it as long as the disk is intact. Just because the ability to download and stream data is getting better doesn't mean tried and true physical technologies will simply go away. |
