Millenniatas Millennial Disk should last longer than you, your memory


Considering that were still waiting patiently for any company (were looking at you, Call/Recall) to produce a commercially viable holographic storage solution, were required to tackle Millenniatas newest assertion with a sprinkle of skepticism. The claim? Its specially lubricated, fortified and homogenized Millennial Disk is said to last some 1,000 years, making it the worlds finest and most longevous archive solution. If its legitimate. Were told that digital information is carved into layers of hard, "persistent" materials, and somehow, those carvings are able to stay fresh and readable for more years than you care to count. Still, we reckon the robot apocalypse will be in full effect by the time 3009 rolls around, so even if it only lives up to half of its claims, well still be impressed.
