Anybody has been using #Mdisc or other optical digital media for archiving important data? What's your experience? DVD or BR? What hardware to burn? Software?

It has been 0 days since SI units and binary units made me think a storage device had more capacity than it really did.
In this case a BD-R DL disc that supposedly has "50GB" really has 46.6GiB.

Replacement Playstation optical drive from TotalConsole works very well -- this was being discussed as a drop-in-and-go replacement (not tuning) and it's worked with everything I've tested it with so far except one CD-R that I burned about 18 years ago.
My original Playstation from 1996, which I mod-chipped and in which I recently replaced the PSU (and optical drive).
Haujobb scenedemo playing here, Orgonakkumulator (1999).

Looks like it works!!!
I just need to dremel an edge of the upper case down to remove contact with the drive plate.
Yay! This PSX has been out of commission for about three or four years!

About to take another stab at replacing the laser unit on my original PlayStation from 1996. This time, the mechanism is pre-tuned and pre-aligned. It cost twice as much, but apparently it should be drop in and go.
🤞

As some people wanted to know what I'm using for format shifting my media here's my currently in use drives.
They all run great with MakeMKV on Linux

#China breakthrough promises #opticaldiscs that store hundreds of terabytes
Optical discs that can store up to 200 TB of data could be possible with a new technology developed in China. If commercialized, it could revive #opticalmedia as an alternative to hard disk or tape for cost-effective long-term storage.
