    I’ve never had a CD/DVD R last more than a year anyway, even when using expensive media and slow burn speeds. So its not exactly archival.

          Right now, probably typical computer SSD disks. Anything lasting more than that usually steps in office/corporate solutions, like magnetic tape backups

          Googling around, I found out there are some “archival grade gold” DVDs, and a M-DISC (available as DVD or BluRay) that claims to last “centuries”. Haven’t seem anything on scratch or dust resistance about either

      Which brand do you use? Not a single Verbatim has ever failed me, neither DVD nor Blu-ray. I also use a full-size burner with 12V SATA-USB adapter, not those stupid “slim” ones.

        Doesn’t matter that much for Blu-rays since they’re non-organic anyway. It mattered more for DVDs since they use organic dyes, but I couldn’t find any M-Disc DVDs in Poland.
