Comment on What's your contingency plan for the apocalypse?

I dont think minidisks ever got used for tech stuff but I think later on you could store/read mp3s with them. Ahh the nostalgia.

Ah, my mistake, I'm getting mixed up between minidiscs and the 8cm mini CDs.
You can get multi-layer M-disc BD-Rs, though, up to the triple layer 100GB BDXL (although you need one of the BDXL burners to write those; the 50GB BD-R DLs can be written by most burners). They cost a pretty penny, though!
The biggest problem now is the disappearance of Bluray burners/writers. Here in Aus there are no internal drives available on the market any more. I've had to stock up with a few second-hand spares before they get too pricey.

Might be a worth a bit in a few years!
Mark 'em up, sell 'em on, profit 😅
