This could provide some good insurance against data loss though.]]>Jun 14th 2008 6:07PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/13/delkins-25gb-archival-gold-bd-rs-will-be-around-longer-than-you/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/13/delkins-25gb-archival-gold-bd-rs-will-be-around-longer-than-you/
I own one stack of Gold DVDs and it's not because I think I'll be around in 100 years, though technology is getting to the point that some will be able to extend their lives far longer than most people now believe possible.

It's because they do last longer, and even if longer is only 25 years, for the price that's enough for me. I have a BD drive now and buying a few of these to back up the cream of my stuff on just a disc or two will be nice.

Though my DVDs don't get scratched that much, I copy all my CDs and take the copies around to play in the car etc. I have a few rarer ones that are now about 100 dollars to replace since they are out of print, and ones I lost in a car theft that I can't even find anymore.

Nowadays if I buy a CD, it's copied right away to extend the life.]]>Jun 15th 2008 3:15PM
