Probably because it's just the one very large array that they decided to name Very Large Array. I presume there will be many Very Big Disc(TM)'s. Kinda makes the name a little less practical.
I've been a shut in for 7 years and I'm slowly turning into a schizo. I've been considering becoming a data hoarder to try to preserve everything before they start changing lines, words or just deleting entire creations. But it seems like hard drives have a short life span, like 10-15 years. It would be a hard and costly task
The bigger tech companies are etching their shit into glass now. If you want long term archival you should learn stone masonry, not buy drives.
Those are fake. Real M-Discs are inorganic, that company went under, Verbatim bought the patent, and theirs has an organic dye layer. What you posted is not a true m-disc that would have been manufactured a few years ago. Look into it, it sucks.
I don't find this argument convincing. A long lasting disc means I can watch that specific content in 100 years (before I get super dementia and die of turbo cancerous heart disease), but the requirement for equipment is more general. I have no doubt that there will exist modern devices for playing legacy formats in 2124. Currently I've used modern portable floppy disc drives to recover ancient data, so it would be similar to that.
Disc rot isn't a problem unless you leave it out side for a decade or two
Video cassette also last for a very long time if taken care of
Why do you make stuff up? Why don't you want people to use physical
I've honestly been preferring faith lately. Last full moon I accidentally looked up and lost 2 and a half hours. Couldn't see right for like, 3 days. Dunno man. But owning Jin-Roh on Laserdisc is one of the most aspies things i've ever conceptualized.
And how much will they charge for this disk? $1000 i say.
And like the original writeable cd's, if your burn fricksup halfway through that disk is fricked and you have to start again.
>And how much will they charge for this disk? $1000 i say. >And like the original writeable cd's, if your burn fricksup halfway through that disk is fricked and you have to start again.
it would likely be rewritable and less than $50 per disc.
>less than $50 per disc.
If this is the same size as standard discs and I don't need new hardware to burn OR it can burn standard discs too, fricking sign me up!

Imagine how will the giga-zoomers from the future will laugh at the name "very large disc" in 20 years when they all carry around 512 zettabytes in their phones
>still can't hold my p*rn collection
>Very Big Disc (TM)
I'm sure this being the product name will go well.
i can just picture people trying to say "i need me some of them vee bee dees "
big black disk
well the Very Large Array you see in Contact is real and the name stuck

VBD
>VBD
It's too short
very big dick
made for BVD
Now all they have to do is bring back all the disc manufactering plants. That shouldn't be hard.
Lazer discs lasted about 2 frickin weeks
LDs are such a fricking meme
half of them have disc rot
same thing happening to DVDs
get rekt physical homosexuals
My vhs tapes are still good
>he's never heard of M-discs that won't rot for 100+ years
Those are fake. Real M-Discs are inorganic, that company went under, Verbatim bought the patent, and theirs has an organic dye layer. What you posted is not a true m-disc that would have been manufactured a few years ago. Look into it, it sucks.
Guess you're all set when you want to watch Rick and Morty on a piece of ancient equipment 100+ years from now.
SATA will be ancient equipment as well

don't live in a toxic shithole and things last longer.

Then how come I have a LaserDisc of Fight Club and Jin-Roh?
Extreme mental moronation coupled with Asperger's syndrome.
"Wouldn't you like to know?"

Yeah, I guess.
imagine how big your pp would look in that elf's hands

The larger the storage capacity of a single device, the greater the loss is when it eventually fails.
This. If it were cheap, I'd go for it and make copies, otherwise I stick to single layer BD-Rs for backups
They look normal sized to me
let's say this is possible and can somehow be reproduced or should I say made cheaply - I bet the speed would still be an issue
Why don't we just make a movie player that reads flash carts and switch to that?
Okay, so if thry can make this big Black person dvba then where the frick are the even more huge hard drives huh?
oh no no no no no archivaldiscbros we got too wienery

So it'll take what, 17hrs to write one disc?
Looks like an archival format. Like a hard copy of whatever huge piece of data you want either a backup of or not accessible offsite
that's a big disk
For you
>china tech
>made to replace tape for long term storage for corps
wow, what a nothingburger
Are they physically big or just hold a lot
Yes
So they will have to make very big dvd players?
THEY'RE HUGE, BABY!
It would probably be more expensive than LTO

This will not be commercially viable or reliable for many decades
