Physically Immutable Optical Archive Libraries

With that modern LLMs are capable of I'n seriously considering investing in at least M-DISC storage or similar to store stuff I don't want to lose :). It's unlikely that both iCloud and Synology get hacked at the same time, but the probability is higher than I could imagine before.

How does this compare vs Microsoft’s Project Silica? Available for purchase being the immediate differentiator, but curious how they fare technically.

We where just talking about tape and other long term back up for Langrange Point Cloud. Fun to see the lasers.

So it's like a tape library, but for 1Tb optical disks?

I think a tape library still wins. LTO-9 allows 18Tb on one tape (without compression) and LTO-10 is 30/40Tb

And tape is going to be fine, as long as it's kept in reasonable conditions. No need to do clean rooms to store it or anything like that.

The video says they use 200GB Blu-ray media. Is this something new?
