M-Discs are not like standard Blu-rays, they were designed specifically for long-term archive storage. If you follow the link at the top of this thread you can get some more detailed information on them. They're supposed to last several hundred years, but of course no one has empirical evidence of that yet.

Ooo I see! That's awesome!

Yeah unfortunately we don't have hundred-years data on them lmao but at least it would still be interesting to see how examples of such disk go as years and decades go by :p
