Forever storage.
The M-DISC optical medium delivers a permanent backup/archival solution for your photos, video footages, documents and other data that matter to you. Unlike traditional recordable/rewritable optical disc that burns data into organic dye layer, the M-DISC medium utilizes rock-like materials for data layer designed to resist extreme conditions of light, temperature and humidity. Your valuable data can be preserved in pristine quality for up to 1000 years and more. M-DISC cannot be overwritten, erased or corrupted by natural processes, ensuring the ultimate in quality, reliability and readability you can count on over the time.
The M-DISC 25GB Blu-ray disc is great for professional photographers, videographers, and home users that have a large amount of data to archive. Plus, designed to fit within the Blu-ray standard specs, the M-DISC Blu-ray can work with any Blu-ray drives.
Immune to Data Rot
Other Recordable DVDs, including the most expensive “Gold” archival DVDs, burn data into an organic dye layer. Organic dyes start to degrade and fade as soon as they are written, leading to a condition sometimes called “data rot”. This problem is so severe that the National Archives warns that the reliable shelf life of a standard recordable DVD is somewhere between 2 and 5 years. The M-DISC contains no organic dyes. Instead, the M-DISC’s data layer is composed of rock-like materials that are chemically stable and heat resistant. These materials cannot be overwritten, erased, or corrupted by natural processes. They have an average estimated lifetime of 1000 years.
Wide Compatibility
While the M-DISC DVD must be engraved in an “upgraded” DVD drive, the M-DISC Blu-ray should work in a standard Blu-ray drive. The M-DISC Blu-ray is certified by the Blu-ray Disc Association to meet all current standard drive specifications for optimum read/write performance. It should work with any modern Blu-Ray drive, thus you can access your data anytime, anywhere.
25GB Capacity
The M-DISC Blu-ray disc offers 25GB storage capacity on a single-side, single-layer disc to record your HD videos or archive your photos, video footages, music and other digital contents.
