I've recently turned to using 25 & 100 GB M-disc BD discs for archival

the defaults on growisofs, IIRC ~3h or so).
Hard drives NEVER keep up. Bragging about how many
DVD's (90's technology)
you can store on current HD means little to people who have ultra HD
Blueray videos that take up to 100GB of space. Heck even a single game
download can be 50GB these days.
I'd be interested in hearing about opinions of the 100GB "M-disc".
I've
heard that they have decent longevity, and, the "low" capacity ones are
interchangeable with conventional DVDs. I can still put 20 100GB DVDs (2017 technology) on a
2TB 2.5" Thin SATA.
However, I'm also looking for multi-terabyte storage.
Are higher capacity DVDs on their way?
Howzbout multi-TearByte SSDs?
I wouldn't trust SSDs (or any flash based storage) for archival purposes,
those are strictly for online storage.
Kind regards,
Alex.
