question storage optical media

[nandobadam]

there is any problem if I store 6 DVDboxes with discs inside in a horizontal position, each box on top of the next box horizontally inside a closed shoe box?

Does MDisc DVD or common DVD have any resistance to damage and fissure when pressing the center of the disc to fit in the center of the dvdbox?

Really?

No, the box orientation doesn't matter.
No, there's no problem clicking the discs into the holder.

Though I wouldn't use a DVD-movie-style case. Too big, too awkward to insert and remove discs, no gain.
I'd use normal CD jewelcases:

Not a fan of the thin type, but if space is a concern it's also an option:

Nope

I would not worry about it. Heat is more of a problem, especially for conventional writable DVDs (M-disk uses higher temps). Make sure to keep your black cases out of sunlight.

I only have the opaque dvdbox case in the photo for two discs or for 1 disc but if it is bad for long-term storage of dvds and mdisc dvds I intend to buy a CD case Will long-term storage of disks in a horizontal position result in media and data loss?

5 or 6 DVDboxes stacked on top horizontally Is the center of DVDs or DVD mdiscs designed to withstand without cracks the pressure flexing when the disc fits into the box?

on DVDs, any type of scratch underneath compromises data and. reading? ad sometimes the disc slides before being fitted into the box

When DVDs were popular one of the best innovations was binders. They came with slip in slots and could hold up to 300 DVDs. No worry and no need for a Bookcase.

Not a fan of these. High scratch potential, and also otherwise I'm not convinced they're a good idea.

Asked already, and answered.
Why do you keep repeating all of your questions again and again? Here and before.

Honestly dude why do you ask if you are just going to repeat the question over and over? They will be fine.

Don't store discs in paper sleeves.

I abandoned 25GB Blu-ray many years ago. Not big enough.

Linear Tape Open provides greater storage capacity.

A second hand 800GB LTO4 drive cost me $30. Cheaper than a Blu-ray drive.

Switch to tape and stop worrying about optical discs.

Lto Very expensive i not money

M-disk has the advantage that it is unaffected by magnets or tape tensioning. If you really want a safe backup do both M-disk, tape, and also put a copy onto SSD that is TLC or SLC (not QLC).

Optical media was always disclaimed to be kept in a cool dry place. Not a glovebox of a car (it gets hot)
