Re: [Avid-L2] Re: M-Disc - 100GB Optical Disc with a 1,000 Year Shelf Life

 

I think I could back up camera original footage for most of my jobs with two or three m-disks. Cost of entry is way lower than LTO. I can see this as a solution for some littler shops like mine. I usually shoot about 100 gigs of camera raw on a day. Or the consolidated media for a five minute edit might be doable

Great to see this technology finally emerging. But what use is 100GB nowadays?
Even LTOs at a few TBs barely cover the job. You'd need 30 M-Discs to handle one LTO tape.
Then you have the consideration of players in the future. LTO has a history and a forward plan. Good chance there will be LTO drives around in 100 years. Can the same be said for M-disc players? Its not all about the medium.
