Data storage technology continues to advance with every passing year, but some of the latest offerings may not be as good of a choice as they first seem. With that in mind, today’s SuperUser Q&A post discusses the pros and cons of M-Discs to help a curious reader make the best choice for storing his data.

数据存储技术每年都在不断发展，但是某些最新产品可能并不像它们最初看起来那样好。 考虑到这一点，今天的SuperUser Q＆A帖子讨论了M-Discs的优缺点，以帮助好奇的读者做出存储数据的最佳选择。

问题 (The Question)

SuperUser reader munish wants to know if M-Discs are more reliable than other forms of storage:

超级用户读者munish想知道M-Discs是否比其他形式的存储更可靠：

I came across M-Discs that boast a lifespan of 1,000 years and resistance to harsh environmental conditions. Is this based on some new technology or is it just the same technology as the other discs with approximately five year life spans for data protection? There is a 100 GB version of this I saw on Amazon.

我遇到了使用寿命长达1000年且能抵抗恶劣环境条件的M碟片 。 这是基于某种新技术还是仅仅是与其他具有大约五年使用寿命的光盘相同的技术来进行数据保护？ 我在亚马逊上看到了一个100 GB的版本。

Are M-Discs more reliable than other forms of storage?

M光盘是否比其他形式的存储更可靠？

答案 (The Answer)

SuperUser contributor Dmitry Grigoryev has the answer for us:

超级用户贡献者Dmitry Grigoryev为我们提供了答案：

A theoretical lifespan of 1,000 years is actually not that big of a deal. Factory produced CD-ROMs which were replicated from a master disc are expected to last for 100 years or more, but of course you cannot put your data on these. Next come gold-plated CD-R and DVD-R discs which are supposed to last for about 100 to 200 years according to the manufacturers’ claims. Those claims are based on accelerated aging tests, just like with M-Discs, so for me, they sound just as valid.

实际上，理论寿命为1000年并不重要。 从主光盘复制的工厂生产的CD-ROM预计将持续100年或更长时间，但是您当然不能将数据放在这些CD-ROM上。 接下来是镀金的CD-R和DVD-R光盘，根据制造商的要求，它们应能持续约100至200年。 这些声明都是基于加速老化测试，就像M-Discs一样，因此对我来说，它们听起来同样有效。

I still have my CD-Rs that I recorded on 20 years ago, so the lifespan of regular CD-R discs is not five years like you said, unless perhaps you go for the cheapest ones. But if you have really found that discs which should last 100 years only last five years in your environment, I would reasonably expect that a 1,000 year lifespan disc should last about 50 years.

我仍然拥有20年前录制的CD-R，因此普通CD-R光盘的寿命不会像您所说的那样五年，除非您选择最便宜的CD-R。 但是，如果您真的发现可以在环境中使用100年的光盘只能使用5年，那么我可以合理地预期寿命1000年的光盘应该可以使用50年左右。

The real problem your descendants are likely to encounter in 100 years (let alone 1,000 years) is to find the equipment needed to read the old discs you have left behind. Typical CD and DVD drives are designed to last for five to ten years of normal usage and have perhaps 15 to 30 years of shelf life. It is hard to predict how many more years CDs and DVDs will remain in use, but they will disappear eventually, and then your descendents will have a hard time reading those discs no matter how much you have paid for them.

您的后代在100年内(更不用说1000年)可能会遇到的真正问题是找到读取遗留的旧光盘所需的设备。 典型的CD和DVD驱动器被设计为可正常使用五至十年，并且可能具有15至30年的保质期。 很难预测CD和DVD还会使用多少年，但是它们最终会消失，因此，无论您为它们支付了多少费用，您的后代都很难读取这些光盘。

Personally, I keep my data on a couple of hard drives and copy it over to newer ones every ten years or so. Sure, I would need 200 hard drives over the course of 1,000 years, but I will never encounter trouble reading my backups on modern computers and the capacity will keep growing over time, accommodating new data. If I decided to use M-Discs instead, I would have to buy new discs for new data ($30 for 50 GB on Amazon) every year, so it would be more expensive and my old M-Discs would still age.

我个人将数据保存在几个硬盘上，每十年左右将其复制到一个新的硬盘上。 当然，在1000年的时间里，我将需要200个硬盘驱动器，但是在现代计算机上读取备份不会遇到麻烦，并且容量会随着时间的推移而不断增长，以容纳新数据。 如果我决定改用M-Discs，则每年我都必须购买新光盘以获取新数据(亚马逊上50 GB的价格为30美元)，因此价格会更高，而且我的旧M-Discs仍会老化。
