What does /g/ think of optical media? I remember when everything was on CDs and I remember how obnoxious it was when they get scratched, but they still seem cool. I know that Bringus guy on YouTube hates optical media, but I'm not 100% sure why.Also check this out, some company is trying to make LTO tapes but optical instead of magnetic. I thought that was neat because it's like a real holotape.https://youtu.be/QTN8pc9_35M

it lasts much longer than tape if stored properly. Could be worth it for some orgs
>>106485465a physical artifact that makes a piece of content 'tangible' is niceoptical is great since it provides that experience in a reasonably small and compact package
>>106486183M-discs what about those? Those seem really cool but I never see people on here talking about them.
>>106486358The company behind mdisc gone bankrupt back in 2016. Verbatim and Ritek bought the rights to use it, so you're just paying 10x the price for regular Blu-rays. Although DVD Mdiscs by Verbatim are apparently even better than the original mdiscs by Millenniata.
>>106485465glad it's dead
>>106485465>remember how obnoxious it was when they get scratched.Not a single one. I handle my CD's and DVD's like preterm babies. In fact I lost a few CD's over the years to shit peeling off, but never to scratches.

>>106485465OPTICAL MEDIA BAD
>>106487421Why?
>>106485465It's the most reliable form of media storage there is, so it's definitely got that going for it.>muh disc rotPeople just being this hearsay bullshit up, nobody has seen it. If the disc was properly made, it won't happen.The problem is storage size, a dvd is 4gb, this is nothing current day. But really important stuff being backed up onto dvd is not a bad idea.
>>106485465My only gripe with CDs is that it's not a very quick way to install things or for fast data retrieval.It's still relevant to me enough that I put a Blu-Ray drive in my computer, and a memory card hub.What I don't understand is why did OEM and PC part manufacturers remove SD/microSD ports off of laptops and computer cases? It can be expensive finding a good USB 3.0 SD card adapter that doesn't cook your card to death.It's easier to find something modern with a random DVD-ROM drive these days than it is to find something with internal SD card slots.
