The Blu-ray discs in our TeraStacks have been ISO tested with expected data integrity of 50+ years with rewritable media and 100+ years with write-once media. This is a significant improvement over the 5-7 year lifespan of hard drives and the 3-5 year lifespan of tapes. Blu-ray discs provide the most reliable data storage.
