Verbatim Archival Gold Discs and Media Longevity
Verbatim has released a gold-layered archival disc designed to preserve data for 100 years. The discussion addresses the reality of "disc rot" and media failure, with one participant recounting the use of a high-quality Plexstore drive to recover data from a failing 20-year-old CD-ROM. The conversation questions the necessity of physical archiving in an era where most data is stored on Google or Apple servers.
