Quote - "DVDs will become useless in a few years"

Good disks stored well will keep their data for approx 50 years or so.

Read that in New Scientist

 

Depends on the disks used to a large degree.  DVD RAM is often used to archieve data and according to Wikepedia the estimated life is 30 years.  I have some that are over 10 years and still good but I do not use them as a sole backup medium

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
