Comment on Twenty percent of hard drives used for long-term music storage in the 90s have failed
Gucci_Minh@hexbear.net 6 days agoYeah I work for a place that uses discs for archival in addition to tapes and the discs do have specific requirements for storage, like opaque boxes in a temp and humidity controlled room. The discs are also some fancy Japanese brand I’ve never heard of. Probably best not to pickup a pack of CD-R at the walmart and use those.
