FalconMedia Century Platinum Archival DVD-R

FalconMedia Century
FalconMedia Century is a range of archival grade blank discs which provide you with a safe, certified archival and a data storage solution, ideal for the long term storage of your sensitive and business critical data.

NEW Platinum Archival DVD-R
Platinum Archival DVD-R is the latest addition to the FalconMedia Century optical disc range.

- Innovative Platinum-Silver alloy
- Corrosion resistance comparable to Gold-based archival media
- Safe archival storage for over 100 years
- Ultra Hard Coat UHC™ protection



Archival Platinum DVD-R uses an innovative Platinum-Silver alloy that guarantees similar corrosion resistance as Gold-based archival media, but at much lower cost. Platinum DVD-R is proving corrosion resistant comparable to DVD-R with pure gold. This corrosion resistance makes Platinum DVDs inherently robust against small pinholes or other defects in the DVD bonding resins. These initial defects can cause degradation of the reflector and subsequently the archived data during long-time storage if pure Ag is used for the reflector.
 
Accelerated lifetime tests executed under high humidity and high temperature conditions confirm the excellent archival lifetime of Archival Platinum DVD-R discs. Archival Platinum DVD-R guarantees safe archival storage for over 100 years. The use of high-reflective Platinum-alloy and standard premium recording dye's ensures the best possible drive compatibility during recording and playback.
 
Platinum DVD-R media comes standard with Ultra Hard Coat UHC™, the best option to protect the content against disc handling and thus extend the lifetime. UHC™ guarantees 100 times more scratch protection when compared to conventional DVDs.

Ten reasons optical discs are going to be around for a long time





Who needs a DVD or Blu-ray Disc, now that there’s broadband? Turns out lots of people. Here are ten reasons optical discs are going to be around for a long time.

1. Inertia – Discs today are the media of choice for entertainment content. This massive market footprint is not easily nor quickly changed, even when there are online alternatives.

2. Ubiquity – Optical disc players are available to just about every computer user on the planet. This virtually guarantees that content distributed in CD or DVD form will be playable.

3. Capacity – Blu-ray discs hold up to 50GB, moving on to 100GB. One or a few discs can backup many consumers personal data. You can push all of that content to online storage – if you have days to do it and a rock-solid connection.

4. Permanence – Good-quality discs last 50 to 100 years. This is increasingly valuable as people realize that they want to keep their content for their lifetime.

5. Physicality – People like to be able to see and touch the things they own or value. It’s not always logical, but it matters.

6. Privacy – Discs can be kept away from prying eyes or malicious thieves, in contrast to the seemingly wide open web.

7. Passive storage – Unlike disk drives, data on optical discs rests quietly for decades, without the need for any power or maintenance.

8. Viewer experience – Blu-ray discs provide a video experience that rivals that of a movie theater. That’s because no compromises have to be made to accommodate the bandwidth limits of the internet.

9. Reliable playback – Likewise, there are no network outages or WiFi dead zones when playing optical discs.

10. Bundled experience – The internet is like a content supermarket. That’s great if you’re browsing, not so great if you want a specific experience. Discs package that experience to make things simple and more immersive.

Please do not hesitate to call us on 01491636373. Your call will always be answered by a member of the team, no automated systems, no voicemail. Just friendly, helpful advice from real people.
