   @RichiH #ArchiveTeam tries to keep some info at https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Rescuing_optical_media and http://fileformats.archiveteam.org/wiki/Sources ; LOC has some more https://www.loc.gov/preservation/care/record . Not much info there about m-disc except passing mentions https://www.digitalpreservation.gov/meetings/DSA2017/Day_2/05_AM_Kransky_5D_Optical_Storage.pdf , so it's not something you can rely on for the long term.

     Another one for the #archive #datahoarder #storage #nas bubble:

     What is the ~best DVD-ROM drive to read old and likely degraded media?

     The Internet at large seems devoid of any information, it's all AI and linkfarming slop.

     Are #MDisc worth it? If yes, what drive, disk manufacturer etc do I want? Are 100GB discs are reliable as 50 and 25 ones?
     #HDD have shorter life? #LTO #tape seems less portable?
