    Superior TTFB

    Random access unlike magnetic tape. <30s access time satisfying file, block, and object storage needs.

    Folio Disc

    Impervious to EMP

    Unaffected by Radiation and Saltwater

    Resilient to Heat, Cold, and Humidity

    HDD & TAPE

    EMP Causes Total Data Loss

    Destroyed by Radiation and Water

    Climate-Control Required

    Unparralled Media Lifespan

    Folio Discs experience minimal wear and have near-infinite backwards compatibility — drastically cutting down on migration costs.

    Upper Layers: Device, Lower Layers: Climate Control

    Low Power Consumption

    Folio Discs require no power when data isn't being accessed and have minimal climate control requirements.
