Gizmodo has a little secret to spill : we ’ve acquired a time automobile and gone forrad 300 twelvemonth so that we could do a work force - on test of these Memorex Pro Gold compact disk - R blanks ( usable in DVD - R , too ) the companionship sent us via FedEx today . Our resultant ? We had no way of cognize if the fellowship ’s claim of a 300 - class durability is true or not , because first of all since the denizens of the twenty-fourth century egest The Singularity a couple of 100 ago , they already possess all of the data point that ’s ever been collect by any human being in each of their pretty little electronic heads . phonograph record of any kind are irrelevant in those future times .
However , if there were cadmium thespian in existence 300 years from now , these archival discs would sure as shooting have a good opportunity of surviving until then . They have a 24 - kt gold reflective stratum , plus they ’re slather with gamey - carrying out dye that ’s supposedly stable enough for long - term storage , and then there ’s that DuraLayer , touted to be exceptionally incision - resistant . These CD - Rs better be everything - insubordinate — they’re $ 13 for a three - camp . But that peace of mind you ’ll get , knowing that your data will last for century , even if nobody around will require to retrieve that data ? invaluable . We ’d settle for 20 class .
