What is the best alternative for archive grade media?


A very useful discussion, based on an interview with a Library of Congress specialist: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8198253


In theory MAM-A Silver or Gold CD-R media, but you'd need to check if they (still) are really archival quality. I didn't way back when because Taiyo Yuden was judged to be good enough (and that might have been before Mitsui/MAM were making high quality media).

It's also possible there's good Bluray recordable media; I switched to LTO tape instead of going in that direction.
