While it's nice to know these exist and cartriges do seems easier to store
don't know how i fell about a non standard solution long term support wise
also i can't even find a general price for these no clue where to buy em
| nvm acording to a 2019 interview for a drive+cartrige thatd be ~1300 and if tht holds up to today think im gotta skip
| Did a bit of light research
One of the flaws with disc media is that the writeable version often used a dye, that would break down over time or under uv light
Bd-r lth has this issue but you can buy bd-r htl which uses an inorganic alloy instead and should mitigate that
Next problem is you need to find decent quality discs at lower than a bit more than 2 cents per gb since at that price you could buy spinning rust and save a bit of fiddling with a burner and the discs themselves
| If you're goal is archival though remember if it doesn't exist in three places it doesn't exist
| nvm calc mistake 0.026c/gb
| looking at it hdd prices seem ta have dropped lots so i guess a hdd+bd combo would be good

ever heard about the 3-2-1 rule? (copypaste) The “3-2-1 backup rule” means that you should: Always keep three files of your data, including the original copy in addition to a minimum of two backups (two locally, which will be stored on different devices; as well as one offsite)
