Future of BluRay
-
I think the current standard size for a BluRay disc is 50 GB. The goal is to put 1 TB on a bluray disc.
That may sound great.. but consider that a DVD is only supposed to maintain it's data reliably for ONE year - two at best. I don't expect that bluray discs are any more reliable.
Can you imagine popping in your 1 TB BluRay disc.. only to find that it will not load! EEEEEK! -
1 to 2 years is for recordable DVD media, not "pressed" DVD, which are much longer keeping data.

I didn't think of that! I know that there are ink CD/DVDs and metallic ones, and the re-writable ones that rarely ever work. It didn't occur to me that "pressed" ones would have a much longer life.
I wonder if those future 1 TB Blurays will be pressed or recordable?
I also don't like DVDs because they get scratched seemingly just by BREATHING on them. Too fragile.
I once had a magneto optical drive which had a sealed tray that contained a re-writable 1 GIG disc inside. It was far too slow and cost about $1000! That was probably the stupidest thing I ever bought! -
I have DVD with movies on it bought in shops about 20 years old and still all playing … (at least last time I've put them in a player).
