Memorex adds 24-karat gold to its longest lasting, archival grade CD and DVD media Memorex, the number one North American retail provider of digital media, brings the durability and longevity of 24-karat gold to its industry-leading family of recordable media. Memorex combines a 24-karat gold reflective layer, high performance dye and its innovative DuraLayer™ scratch-resistant technology to create Memorex Pro Gold Archival CD and DVD Media. These archival grade discs raise the bar for optical media, come backed by a lifetime warranty, and will be the only gold archival media available at retail in the United States. … These innovative discs are proven to last up to six times longer than traditional media with a CD archival life of up to 300 years and a DVD archival life of up to 100 years. Laboratory tests prove Memorex Pro Gold Media to be resistant to the effects of rapid, artificial aging such as ultraviolet light, heat and humidity exposure thanks in part to gold's inert characteristics that prevent oxidation, a common cause of failure for most recordable media during long-term storage. Memorex Pro Gold CD-R discs record at 52X speed and feature 700MB of data storage or 80 minutes of audio recording time. Memorex Pro Gold DVD-R discs record at 8X speed and hold 4.7GB of data or 120 minutes of video. … Memorex Pro Gold Archival CD and DVD media will be available at several major retailers this April.
