Description

The Cranberry DiamonDisc, a novel DVD disc, is said to store your digital photos, movies, music, documents, and ledgers for 1,000 years or more. Misled consumers have been backing up important family memories on DVDs to keep them safe. Now, after just a few years, instead of reliving memories, file errors and unreadable discs are being discovered. While recordable DVDs are unreliable and unpredictable, often failing in as few as two years, a new 1,000 year DVD made of high tech, diamond-hard stone promises to preserve irreplaceable digital files for the ages.The Cranberry DiamonDisc was designed by a team of scientists to store digital photos, movies, music, documents, and ledgers for 1,000 years or more. Unlike conventional recordable DVDs and CDs, the new disc has no adhesive layers, dye layer or reflective layer to deteriorate - thereby avoiding the “data rot” that quickly corrodes all recordable DVDs. The transparent Cranberry DiamonDisc can withstand prolonged temperatures extending up to 176 degrees Fahrenheit as well as UV rays that would destroy conventional DVD disks
