Millenniata has successfully developed the M-Disc, which is known as the first ever permanent file backup disc that lasts forever. Designed for businesses, scrapbookers, photographers, archivists, genealogists, or anyone who want to protect their data and afraid to loss the data forever, the M-Disc provides long-lasting storage by literally etching data into a rock-like material. It will not degrade over time and is usable on a daily basis. The current version reads like a single-layer DVD-R with 4.7GB of storage space. According to the company, they are currently working on a Blu-ray version of M-Disc that will be announced later. The Millenniata M-Disc will be available in October 2011. The M-Disc is priced at $2.99 a pop. The M-Disc 5-pack retails for $13.89, while the M-Disc 10-pack is priced at $26.59.
