long term storage
About this tag
Discussions tagged with long term storage on WindowsForum.com focus on Microsoft Research's Project Silica, which stores terabytes of archived data on glass platters using femtosecond-laser writing and machine-learning decoding. The technology targets media lifetimes exceeding 10,000 years, offering a durable alternative for archival storage. Topics cover the optical engineering, system demonstration published in Nature, and implications for future data preservation. No other storage methods or Windows-specific software are discussed under this tag.
Microsoft Research’s latest step in Project Silica — published as a full-system demonstration in Nature — is a serious piece of optical-engineering work: researchers have shown repeatable femtosecond-laser writing and machine‑learning decoding that can put terabytes of archived data into a 120...
