50 Pack Millenniata M-Disc DVD 4.7GB 4X HD White Inkjet Printable 1000 Year Permanent Data Archival / Backup Blank Media Recordable Disc

I've bought well over a hundred of these inkjet printable M-Discs and never had one fail to burn or play after burning. I use them to create audio DVD's of my large music collection. I've had mixed results with longevity from standard DVD's. They are expensive, but I'm hoping they last my lifetime (or at least as long as DVD players are available!). Highly recommended!

A lady donated 2 cases (1,000 discs) of inkjet printable M-Disc 4.7GB to my Archive. I was very grateful as I had cut out buying M-Disc 4.7GB for my VHS Archive over a year ago after they jacked the price up from $2.10 to $3.06 per disc. The distribution for 4.7GB M-Disc is terrible, not much competition and priced is pretty fixed.Now, the discs look to be the same and the earlier discs. The problem is with the packaging. One case of discs had the usual bottom plastic disc floater replaced by a paper-thin piece of plastic at the bottom of the spindle. That was fine, not an issue. The next case of discs had nothing. The bottom disc rested on the bottom of the spindle. All the discs in that case had scratches on the bottom disc. So, 20 discs had defects due to poor packing.Maybe they forgot to put in the thin plastic liner in one case or maybe they just cheapened up even more and thought a paper-thin piece of plastic was too much cost or used too much wasted crude oil...dunno.As far as M-Disc themselves?They are as archival as you can get with optical media and archiving digital data. I've used them for many years and have done extensive torture testing of M-Disc of all sizes. It is just too bad there is not more competition with engraved optical media / engraved quartz. Verbatim used to make affordable, branded 4.7GB M-Disc that were good. But they discontinued the 4.7GB M-Disc around +/- 2020.Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection

Great product, been using since their introduction. Rock-solid performance.I've never had one of these discs fail to burn and one has never failed to play in a wide variety of Blu-ray and DVD players.The seller, (Smartbuy-depot) shipped these discs in a plastic bag! In my many orders of the same product, ALL other sellers spent a few extra nickels for a cardboard box.

Good product, good price, good delivery

Nice price!

After losing precious files to deteriorating discs a few years ago, I re-archived everything to M-Disc DVDs. And while I may not be able to verify the 1,000-year thing, I feel a lot better about my archived audio, video and files remaining intact in 10 or 20 or 30 years.I prefer the M-Disc DVDs to the BluRay discs. That way, in case something physical happens to a disc, I only lose 4G of files, not 24G (I deliberately write less than capacity.)

Hard to find

I snagged a bunch of these before they stop making them. M-Discs have a theoretical life span of 1,000 years.People are falling all over themselves with streaming movies, thumb drives and other volatile memory storage devices. For anything that needs long term storage - this is what you want. M-Disc storage will last for hundreds of years. Standard DVD drives and set-top players will read these discs just fine - however, to burn an M-Disc you will need to have a DVD burner that is capable of burning to M-Discs. Internal and external M-Disc burners are both for sale.
