  Rated for, but that doesn’t mean they’re all actually manufactured to that standard.

  CDs were rated for like 50+ years originally I think. We found out real quick that was an optimistic number, especially when you buy the cheapest thing around.

    ISO certification does require a bit more effort than just the bare minimum necessary to legally advertise specific claims about a product.

    That doesn’t mean some M-Disc manufacturing is immune to shitty business practices of the manufacturer, but they do have to meet certain manufacturing specifications.

      “Archival use” means a commercial climate controlled environment. Not a plastic tub in your basement or garage.
