John Maio Posted January 4, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted January 4, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) La Cie introduced its Blu-Ray external disk drive: Â http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10867 Â Has there been any serious testing of the Blu-Ray technology for long-term storage? 50 GB on a DVD sounds enticing.

farnz Posted January 4, 2007 Share #3 Â Posted January 4, 2007 Thanks for the great link, Carston. Â I was aware of the Phthalocyanine versus Cyanine or Azo dye deterioration issue but I had no idea of the enormous benefit of DVD+R over DVD-R as archival media, or for that matter the inherent frailty in the DVD-R data retrieval system. Â Using (Taio Yuden) DVD+R media is a no-brainer! Â Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carstenw Posted January 4, 2007 Share #4 Â Posted January 4, 2007 Neither did I until today. I have religiously been using DVD-R until now. Scary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
