I know Microsoft has been working on glass storage under their project silica moniker that they claim has stability measurable in the centuries and really high capacities but I don’t know if it’s deployed anywhere yet.
yeah… i remember being told never to store long-term data on cd-r dvd-rs way back in the early 2000s for the photostudio i was working at because the data would likely be corrupted within 10 - 15 years for most of the discs due to breakdown of the chemicals with time

optical? is that supposed to be more durable? last i knew cds and dvds had a pretty miserable shelf-life

Yeah, there are cd’s from the eighties and nineties that have started shitting the bed already, which in the grand scheme of things is very quickly

he’s probably stored it on NVME drives because he uses it in his gaming PC (that he definitely didnt get someone else to build)
