Transferring Data from Old PC to New PC (Both Win 10)

[sysprog]

I found this youtube video on M-Disks and their pros and cons.

Nice find and nice video presentation; however, I didn't see any downside elucidated -- the conclusion seemed to be simply that the M-Disc was more robust -- as @Vanadium 50 wondered, though, are they worth the higher cost -- I suppose that depends on specific charactistics of the data and on storage conditions -- the person doing the archiving presumably would know how to make that call . . .

The downside is heat and warping. You still have to keep them in a safe cool place.

I could envision someone keeping them in a bank vault and then deciding one day to retrieve a file, leave them in the car (Arizona?) and the heat gets them.

And now some details on the SSD
