Optical Storage

This is a shameless cry for geek help!
<p>Our lab would like to archive files for the future. We are storing large tiff files that are about 200MB each. Hopefully, I am putting out decent data and we will need to keep the files for…let’s say 10-20 years at least. I was looking into external <span class="caps">DVD</span> burners (both Mac & PC compatible) and am currently considering the Plextor 716UF. And whilst searching, <a href="http://www.blu-ray.com/">Blu-ray</a> and HD-<span class="caps">DVD</span> cam up. So here’s my question…and it may be stupid because I’m not a computer person…but does anyone thing that <span class="caps">DVD</span> storage of data will be uselessly obsolete in 10-20 years? will I need to put <span class="caps">DVD</span>-<span class="caps">ROM</span>s into storage along with them?</p> Tags: blu_ray dvd burner
