Optical Storage is back

www.pcgamer.com

Researchers have developed a Very Big Disc™ that can store up to 200 terabytes of data and may represent a return to optical media for long term storage

You can't keep a good disk down, it seems.

I have a feeling this will probably not hit consumer market or be very expensive, but still pretty cool they managed that. The nice thing about optical media is being able to make a read only archive. I was going through some of my old archive CDs that are like 20 years old and all the data was still accessible. Lot of nostalgia. Made me think about how I kinda stopped doing that, and probably should. All my data is on spinning disks, or on cold backups, but none of it is really archived in a read only format.
 
During the University of Wisconsin's biennial engineering expo, school kids used to get to cross the catwalk to look down into the operating reactor. It was pretty neat. By the time I was in college, the engineering school stopped allowing it as too many items got dropped in the water and had to be fished out.
