The material is not disclosed but it can be dipped in liquid nitrogen and then into boiling water with no data loss. At last! I've ruined more disks than I can remember when I accidentally did that.</p> <p>It supports Blue Ray, too, but does require a special writer which for now only writes at 4X,</p> <p>I guess <em>forever</em> means until disks are no longer supported (coming soon). So in a couple of decades you dig out a old reader and find that there's no longer an interface and drivers for your computer. And so on. </p>
