Kodak doesn't make the Ultima Gold anymore. (That should give you an idea of
the problem with digital storage media...) Mitsui is now recommended.
The suggestion that removable HD is better sounds good to me.
There's a lot about this on the ImageLib listserv right now.
Just some hurried thoughts.

Subject: Archival fixed storage media
Hi everyone,
At SFMOMA we are beginning to archive some large raw image files (our
servers are getting full) and are looking to tap into your
information/experience on the elusive question of which fixed storage media we
should use -- now. Should we use Kodak’s Gold Ultima? Should we use DVD?
Does anyone have information on predicted longevity for DVD? Is there a
specific type of DVD we should use? Is there an archival alternative to DVD?
Which different redundant media storage formats are recommended? Does anyone
(really) migrate their fixed media every few years? Any issues about migration
we should look out for?
We’ve tossed these questions around for quite a while and we are
familiar with many resources (such as the Colorado Digitization Program) but as
our field is always updating itself, I wanted to check in on any current
thinking/research, etc.
Thanks so much for any ideas or suggestions.
