I think there is a need for a new type of disc of around lets say 100gig, it should work like a dvd or blueray does now and there should be a rewritable version.
Thing is it was invented years ago but there is an agreement not to release it by the big main companies in the storage market.
They do not want us to have a handy way of holding 100 films on a disc for instance. They want to force us all into cloud storage where every bit of data can be read and stolen (passed to NSA etc) and also copyright checked.
If i was to get my tin foil hat out - companies like dropbox have backdoors in for the NSA etc so that they can access everything but also use the info in the documents to better the prospects of USA companies - just like what that project Echelon has been doing for years.

I just vpn torrent off that bitch next doors wifi and stick them all on a 128Gb flash stick.

Sure that is a solution but flashdisks are more expensive that a disc would be and also not as handy to store, I mean like a disc wallet for instance containing 250 discs like I have for my old burned DVDs.
Not burned a DVD for years now but back in the day I would buy them down the market in boxes of 100 for pennies per disc.

You know all that stuff you burned onto CDRs?
I'm willing to bet about half of it is already unreadable. Mine certainly are.

I had a root through them a few months ago and I tested out 10 of them at random from the cases and they all were fine and the films I had on them played in VLC fine.

Depends.
If not peeling/oxidising they are usually fine.

I bought these fancy cases with foam backing the strong clear plastic in "pages" that clipped into something like a big foam lined ring binder, been lying under a desk for years now full up and hardly ever do I need a disc from there but each binder has tons of films and tv series in there.
