>100GB per disc>M-Disc means 1000 years without losing data>Can survive harsh conditionsSony can suck it, buy a blu ray burner and some discs already
>>538238353you better buy these drives now, i have several BNIB as backups.make sure the drive works (or can be flashed to work) with LibreDrive especially 4K UHD drives. doesn't matter if its a slim USB drive or internal SATA drive with enclosure.>t. 20TB+ plex collection if my own dvd/blu-ray rips
>>538238353Please list the things you like that you need to watch or play more than once. Can you name 20? I can understand preserving the best and agree you should keep those safe, especially the things leftists and globalists don't want you to possess or own. But, in reality, 90 percent of what you read or play is already obsolete and writing by people who do not understand the world or reality as well as you do. So, tell the folks at home what you would fill those discs with... give me 10 games, 10 movies. You can theoretically fit everything ever written pre 1900 before the bolsheviks gained footing on a 10TB drive.
>>538238974there are countless movies from the 70s to 2000s that are worth watching again and again. I watch Office Space and The Matrix almost every year. Never loses its relevancy. Same with Idiocracy.
>>538238974watch>demolition man>tombstone>Austin Powers>blues brothers>blazing saddles>Forrest Gump>Idiocracy>Lawrence of Arabia>mad max1+2>The Big Lebowski >Terminator 2>wishmasterthat doesn't even include movies I would watch myself, just movies that I know I could put on if I was entertaining people or somethingplay>morrowind>diablo 2>dwarf fortress>ADOM>dark souls 1-3>fallout 2, maybe 3 and new vegas>terraria>borderlands 1-2honestly my real list would be a bunch of roguelikes from the late 90's but it feels unfair to use games that are literally designed to be played from the beginning each time for your example
you can have lots of fun with like 100MB of Zelda randomizers
>>538239604Okay that is three movies. I have seen all three, no need to ever watch them again. I did not find them relevant but somewhat entertaining. All are hollywood products made to entertain in exchange for cash, in which you need to watch over and over again...
>>538238353>Sony can suck it,>buy blu ray>fuck sony. to get back at sony.... give sony money???
>>538239812>honestly my real list would be a bunch of roguelikes from the late 90's but it feels unfair to use games that are literally designed to be played from the beginning each time for your exampleBased stone soup enjoyer
>>538238353>noooo I don’t want to lose my data!Why do I get the feeling this is just for your porn?
>>538239978why do you see it that way? if i were to take my family to see a movie it would be 20$ minimum (back then) and I could buy the DVD for that price. so not only do I get to watch it as many times as I want, I also get to lend it to a friend who hasn't watched it yet and vice versa.then if I have children or grand children I can let them watch it without permission or worrying that it's been removed from all streaming platforms because its now controversial, calls people niggers or faggots, or deadnames some celebrity that transitioned. or it's not censored in the future like picrel.
>>538238353>can't buy writers>soon can't buy diskslollmao
>>538238353M discs may or may not exist any more. They stopped using gold film, but I've also read all blu rays use inorganic media now, and that new m discs comply with the same durability tests as old ones.
HDD drives still reign supreme
>>538239978>why would you watch a movie twice>because i enjoy it>but you already watched it oncepeak autism, get tested
>>538240433>1k USD
>>538239812>>ADOMBased. I never really got into nethack, but I've played ADOM regularly since '97 or '98.Shame about Ultimate ADOM, though, I hear it's complete shit. And his other project never did get off the ground, if I'm not mistaken
>>538238974Just looking at my own movie library. Full series Star Trek, TNG, DS9, Voyager and EnterpriseFull seriesStargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Stargate UniverseLots of old Sci Fi movies from the 50s and 60sLots of old fantasy movies (particularly anything with Ray Harryhausen special effects) Star Wars Original TrilogyLord of the RingsThis is just what I have in my bedroom, too lazy to go to the living room and see what I have there. Do I need all these things? I guess not, bit to me there is something special about physical media, same reason I like old Ray Harryhausen stop motion more than most modern CGI effects.
>>538238353Not gonna work. Lots of new games right now requires you to connect online for it to even work. Also, thanks to the internet games are now shipped full of bugs/issues to be fixed later hence the need to go online.
>>538238353They said CD-R would last 100 years. Had many discs unreadable after a year or two.
>>538240538A lot of it is nostalgia and cinematography (which is practically non-existent nowadays, all cringe CGI jumpcuts with motion blur). Good storytelling, comedy, etc. All of it now is woke political messaging and cringe humor that isn't even funny.There's tons of movies that I saw when I was younger and now that I can watch them as a based and redpilled adult, make a lot more sense or give me a different impression.Same with 90s cartoons, really great stuff and things that went over my head as a kid.My wife is not from the US and 10 years younger than me. My movie and TV show collection was a great way to convey the era of the time to her and show what peak American culture and comedy looked like compare to the slop we get today. She loved Rush Hour series.
>>538240676maybe it was a bad batch? I have plenty from high school era where I would backup my music collection before reformatting, I was able to recover all of it.Granted they were stored in a CD binder and never saw sunlight/UV so not sure if that has anything to do with it.
>>538238353>1000 years without losing datayeah man, there is no way to prove that. recall that lots of writeable CD and DVD were fucked in like 10 years because the materials separated
+ my 5 300 cd books filled with warez. and a new one getting filled currently, 3x 20space folders and a 150 folder all full (besides the 6th 300 book)
>>538238974These are just my anime folders.I'm currently rewatching Zeta Gundam, Frisky Dingo, The Mighty Boosh and the 1st season of the X-Files.
>>538241633Nigga set up plex
>>538241525
>>538241873I have jellyfin I wasn't about to take 30 screencaps to include the posters for you faggots
>>538238974normal people have children, and arent just hoarding media for themselves.
>>538238974You're talking to a 1pbtid Greek flag fake OP. Anyways the reason you should archive is because this Wild West internet will not last probably even into 2030. It'll be locked down hard with AI easily able to track and restrict every user simultaneously. No more free viewing and even worse no more looking up weird fetish porn without the same AI your employer uses knowing exactly what you like.>>538241525>>538241905Based.
>>538238353these things could store hundreds of game instatllers each, wont help if future windows stops supporting it
>>538243388You don't keep copies of old Windows? Zero thumb drives with Windows 10 22H2?
>>538243388>future windowsCome one anon
>>538238353Yeah and put half a modern game on one disk.
>>538240433>538240433the least last lasting storage optionlol
>>538238974have you ever popped a disc in a system, booted it up, played that shit to completion, pop it back out, and put it back on the shelf to play the next one?if you don't know that feeling, i feel sorry for your young and dumb ass, because it was fucking peak comfy, and having a shelf full of games just doesn't compare to having a folder full of games on a PC
>>538243973never failed on me. never went corrupt. lol
>>538243591I still have 3.1 on floppy
>>538244325when did you last resilver the data? do you have checksums?
>>538244730so a disaster waiting to happen lol, to bad i wont witness it
>>538240555cracked games are more stable and safer than corporate games and updates.
I need to buy an external drive
Piratechads we can't stop winning
>>538244730>resilver the dataidk wtf that means. this drive basically holds backup in case my internet goes out of programs to get the computer running to do what i need. patches, cracks. and my music. I back it up every time i feel like it. I have important shit on multiple drives. i have 3 fucking extra drives sitting around. 1tb wd black, 2tb toshiba x2 sitting..
