i'm just saying, i'm looking forward to them becoming an actual possibility in the future.
i could definitely make use of that kind of storage
or an alternative to optical storage altogether would be ideal. maybe some sort of mainstream MO storage will come around.... full sized minidiscs? yes please.
using writeable optical discs for storage is really risky. There's so much fluctuation in quality between burners, discs, and even results with the same media, at the same speeds on the same player.
your data is never really GAURANTEED to be written correctly. and just because the burner is able to read it again to verify, doesn't mean that it will be readable by the drive that you need to read it with.....
