Hope y’all kept your old cases with optical drive bays because we just might be going back to the future. I can’t make this stuff up.

Too bad they are painfully slow.
Holographic storage was a big fad 20+ years ago. I expect this will join it in well deserved obscurity.
Is that Neil Breen?
Something tells me this will never hit the market, or will be too expensive for the average consumer, even at 1TB/disk
Isn’t that the science lady that is insanely conspiracy brained?
I’m just imagining the thought process behind Sabine making the video thumbnail. “They have to know what a CD is and what I look like from the waist up.”
At first glance, I thought that pic was the box art for a really bad GameBoy game.
That’s clearly for long term storage. Most flash memory only lasts 5 to 10 years. CD-R is quoted from Google as 50 to 100, the fanciest gold ones upwards of a hundred. Just an 800MB CD-R I can store my digital valuables for 50 years is a good deal, especially when it’s so cheap.
Sabines videos are very good worth a follow if interested in physics and related topics.
i did keep mine… gonna have to plug that in lmao
Wasnt there like a quartz storage thingy that could hold lots and last a long time?
Wasnt there a guy who was assassinated over this?
Ah yes… the good ole 2x 4x 8x, all the way up to 64x drives 😂
Youtuber has a slow “science” day?
They’ll likely take the place of cassette tapes for massive storage with terrible read/write speed.
Hope y’all didn’t fall for one of those cases that you can’t fit an optical drive into. The PC is the everything machine. 90% of everything released in the last century is on one of those.
No link?
They make external optical drives….
Highly doubt it’s going to be a thing. First of all CD’s deteriorate over time.
It would be extremely slow to access that data, even writing or reading 700MB took ages, do that 1000 times…
Besides large SSD arrays will more likely take the space of CDs.
Look, pc DRM free games should be sold on physical. It lingers on for consoles, I don’t see why it shouldn’t do the same for the enthusiast pc players who buy collector editions and stuff. I would enjoy it quite a bit. A new “8k blu ray” format might come out one day.
Where did stone storage go?
Takes 17 days to burn one disk.
Aren’t they too fragile to keep?
This is only going to be for data archives not really consumer facing media discs
Why is the left banner on that picture almost, if not the exact typo as old Gameboy games?
Sabine is giving big Oblivion NPC
Unfortunately they don’t last forever
I’m a historian and I research the papacy, a lot of documents were released by the Vatican on CD-Rom in the early 90’s and I was using some of them in Milan last year and many of the CD’s just didn’t work at all. Perfect condition no scratches
Edit- spelling
Oh yeah baby, still have my cd dvd rom lol
i hate this channel for no descernable reason
I mean this is the natural progression right? Tape > disk > flash > repeat
Yeah but, the heck am i gonna do with a petabyte?
ugh, i wish sabine would just stay in her lane. no one is checking for her on tech.
