Start-up to release 'stone-like' optical disc that lasts forever

Start-up to release 'stone-like' optical disc that lasts forever.  Lucas Mearian. Computerworld. August 8, 2011.

Millenniata has partnered with Hitachi-LG Data Storage to launch an M-Disc read-write player in early October.  Any DVD player maker will be able to produce M-Disc machines by simply upgrading their product's firmware. Millenniata said it has also proven it can produce Blu-ray format discs with its technology - a product it plans to release in future iterations. Currently the discs write at  only 4x speed, but they are working to increase it.

Millenniata partnered with Hitachi-LG Data Storage to provide M-Ready technology in most of its DVD and Blu-ray drives. The technology is addressing the needs of the long-term data archive market.  This disc does not need special temperature or humidity controls.
