gold archive grade dvd
MAM-A Inc. Announces the release of their newest product, Gold Archive Grade DVD-R In order to meet consumer demands for large capacity, long life data storage, MAM-A Inc. has developed an Gold Archive Grade recordable DVD media. The media is capable of storing any type of data or video content and is available in "-R" and "+R" formats for 4.7 GB of total storage space. Either of these formats can be recorded in DVD+/-RW drives for playback on any DVD player. The product uses 24 karat gold as the reflective layer, offering maximum resistance to breakdown -- one of the major causes of disc failure. The MAM Gold Archive Grade DVD is offered as the long awaited companion to the MAM Archive Grade Gold CD-R which has earned a reputation for the best longevity of any storage media. http://mitsuicdr.com/about/press_rel...005-12-05.html |

The error rates on current Mitsui (MAM-E) CD's in Europe are something like 50 times higher than the older Mitsui discs I have which were made in Japan. James. |

Kodak once sold their own awful "gold is forever" disks. Thankfully gone now. MAM's claims are equally weird and unsupported. The error rates you quote tell the real story. Too bad Tayio Yuden doesn't make DVDs (or do they?). |

achivial grade means that they have a longer shelf life after data is
committed to disc. closer tolerances in maufacture and types of dye and reflective surface used are more costly. archivist prefferred the kodiak, sadly they quit making them. |

They made disks only for a few years, so how much was the "longer shelf life"? It was commonplace unsupported marketing hype. The fragility of their sticky-coated metal tops was a hazard. It nearly liquified in humid weather. After losing a few, I threw out dozens of unused disks. Good riddance. |

what was the "sticky-coated metal tops", never saw one I was reffering to the gold cd-r, preffered by achivist (for digital medium) for doing long term back-up/storage more stable than hard drives, and any other cd-r on market. dale |

When Kodak stopped making discs they suggested that their customers use Mitsui discs. I have a few Kodak discs but it is quite a while since I've tried reading them. Cheers. James. |

I've often felt the Mitsui dye sounded warmer and more punchy...
