Now Ensure Data Reliability, Add Personal Passwords and Encryption to
CDs, DVDs & Blu-ray Discs Using Any Optical Recording Drive
HANNOVER, Germany — Nero, creators of liquid media technology, today announced plans
to update its SecurDisc data protection technology in April 2010.
SecurDisc 2.0 extends the lifespan of burned content on CDs, DVDs and
Blu-ray Discs by increasing the chances of retrieving data from damaged
discs, regardless of scratches, age or deterioration, protecting data
from unintended alteration and access, and enabling the verification of
the originator of the data using digital signatures.
The average life expectancy of an optical disc is between two and five
years; yet, unforeseen events can decrease the lifespan even more.
According to a survey of 1,000 American households commissioned by the
National Consumers League, respondents re-purchased an average of two
commercial DVDs because the disc was lost or damaged. This number is
significantly higher among households with children. The number of
defective DVDs is likely even higher with non-commercial DVDs burnt at
home. Recognizing the need to improve disc longevity so that consumers
can enjoy content theyve created or access important data, Nero
developed and integrated SecurDisc technology into its products in order
to meet the consumer demand.
SecurDisc 2.0 is the new industry standard for optical drive security
and data reliability
