Hakim used our newssubmit to tell us that TDK has announced the availability of armor plated DVD media. According to the company the DVD discs are hard coated enough to resist even steel wool pads.
If the discs are really that well protected we hope there will be also a manufacturer that will make armored CD-Rs.

Rich Martino, TDK Product Manager pointed out: 'Once you've recorded a DVD, there's nothing more frustrating than loading it, getting ready to enjoy a movie or do important work '“ and then it doesn't play. Usually, it's because the disc is damaged or dirty due to mishandling or excessive wear and tear.TDK Armor Plated discs are the solution for blank DVD users '“ they're the most damage-resistant recordable DVD discs available, even more durable than pre-recorded DVD discs. In fact, in our lab testing we've even tried to scratch them with steel wool pads, and write on them with permanent ink markers '“ and the discs wouldn't scratch, while the marker ink came right off." Martino noted, 'Although, this isn't something a consumer would normally do, we conducted these tests to confirm the extreme durability of TDK Armor Plated discs, and verify that the media can withstand the conditions of everyday wear and tear." |
