Millenniata Inc. M-DISC 25GB Blu-ray Media - 15 Disc Cake Box

The first one worked perfectly, but the second and third ones did not. And so forth. I'd estimate that about two-thirds of the disks were defective. I had enough to finish my project, but instead of 21, I only had 6 or 7 left over. The remainder was thrown away.

These disks were purchased to preserve photos, but they will most likely be used to store other important documents as well. Unlike magnetic or standard optical storage, this type of media has a much longer life expectancy. The media delivered exactly what was promised. I'm not sure if I'll be alive to see if it really does have a 1,000-year lifespan (LOL).

These discs are fine, but despite the fact that they have a capacity of 25GB, you won't be able to use all of it. At and around 23-hours, I tried (and squandered) a number of recordings. They all failed despite the fact that there was a total storage capacity of 25GB. I assumed I had a bad drive or a bad set of discs. Then, in Explorer at 23, I noticed the actual capacity of a brand new and empty disc. 3GB. So I reduced my data to 21GB and it worked fine; in fact, after several more recordings, I have yet to have a failure if the data is kept under 23GB. I haven't looked into why this is, because each new disc only contains a small file, so I'm not sure why I can't get 25GB or even closer, but that's my experience. My burner is the LG BE14NU40. The discs, on the other hand, function flawlessly. If you want to label something, go with the inkjet writeable ones. Evidently, writing on a regular disc can cause ink to leach onto the reflective surface over time, causing the disc to become corrupt. If you need to label something, write on the small "inside circle" where there is no data, but write small! ) If not, get the inkjet-writeable ones with a labeling layer. br>br>In the previous week, I had lost two hard drives. My primary and backup data have both been lost. As a result, backing up to hard drives isn't the most reliable method! Hard drives, flash drives, and other types of storage media will all fail at some point. These will as well. at some point However, it does provide a backup point, and keeping important data on at least two different media at any given time allows for a backup if one fails. If you're looking for a dependable archival system, there are a number of articles on the internet that can help you figure out what works best for you. Some concepts are simply too difficult to keep track of. For immediate backups, I now use a dual HDD system, and these discs for long-term archiving. For added security, I keep these in a separate location. This is for things I don't want to lose at all, i. e. Children's videos, photographs, and other materials are available. I can always upgrade as technology advances. br>br>For the time being, this is the best option for my needs. They perform admirably.

These discs have performed admirably over a long period of time. After over a hundred burns, there has only been one failure.

I've gone through 14 of the 15 discs and haven't had a single failure! I've just placed a second order for 15 more discs. I'm hoping that, like regular BD-ROMs, the price of these will drop in the near future. After a period of time on the market, R discs became less expensive.

Ray M- Disc was a little concerned about having a problem with the larger capacity, especially given the cost per disc. There were no issues at all; the disc burned and read flawlessly (using the LG burner). I'm not sure if these will last a thousand years, but 20 years will suffice!.

After getting past the drive and disc incompatibilities, they appear to work fine. Pay close attention to the labels. The LG drive I bought with my first batch of these discs needed to have its firmware upgraded. Now that everything is working properly, let's see if they can last the 1000 years predicted!.

Internal Rewriter by Ray)HL- ST BD- RE WH14NS40) has performed admirably with this 25 GB disc. I'm working with Toast 10 Titanium software on a Mac Pro. I just made a backup of 24 minutes. Without any issues, I was able to store 8GB of photos and video. Burning at a low speed is what I recommend.
