Are there any DVD cases that both

1) Have a clear plastic on the outside for inserting cover art (i.e. not just a hard plastic outside where you would have to tape or glue artwork to it.

2) Have a USB Thumb Drive slot/holder?

Or, if not... maybe 3D Printed USB thumb drive holders that fit into the CD rings?

Great idea .... I would be interested in this ability as well

Someone has come up with it! Unfortunately you need to buy a minimum of 100 to make it cost-effective but it's a start.

Wondering if you could do a cover for Yokus Island Express.

I feel like putting every game on an individual memory stick is probably going to kill any hope of it ever being cost-effective.

True, but the smallest quanity that the company offers is 100 units, so a dollar a case.

As for the thumb drives...

[url=https://www.ebay.com/itm/324305101345?hash=item4b82172221:g:JrcAAOSwyfpfalzb&var=513376585111]https://www.ebay.com/itm/324305101345?hash=item4b82172221:g:JrcAAOSwyfpfalzb&var=513376585111[/url]

This is a 10-pack of 32 GB drives selling for around $46 USD. So, ~$460 USD to have a drive in every case. For an individual this is not cheap (nor practical) but for a small business that were to offer a physical copy of a GOG game with a case and sleeve, it would be a mere $6 USD per order. Add, say, 20% onto that and you would be looking at a physical copy of the game you purchased on GOG for an extra $7.50.

This doesn't take into account the savings when buying in even greater quanities - with a large enough order the cost could be cut by 25% or more.

How reliable are the USB flash drives / memory sticks compared to DVD/BluRay disks? Obviously an advantage to flash drive or memory stick is that you could update the media when updates for the games are released. Then again, how often are there updates released and how much would it cost to reburn a DVD/BluRay?

Are there a lot of folks archiving their GOG install/goodies materials to external media? Lots of the older games would fit on a DVD (4.7 / 8.5 GB) or BD-R (25 GB). Would you just make a cover with smaller cover images? Or for something like that, create a booklet of covers for the inside and do a text list on the back cover?

I think you'll have a hard time finding in-depth articles about that online. Especially because they've both been considered "throwaway media" for a long time now.
Somebody might do an in-depth comparison - by the time of publishing, many of those specific tested models of disks/flash drives might not be available anymore.

Not that long ago - I searched for articles/opinions on "archive-grade" DVD writables. I then looked for them in online stores... They're "hard to find" and often 5-or-more times as expensive than any other DVD+/-R.
Yet still... "archive-grade" isn't a promise - just a percentage number of probability (then again, that's not different from anything else in life ;-)

How I see it: hard drives are the safest way of backup, because you *can* have more (/easier) control (backup/redundancy) over them. Are you going to triple-duplicate your optical discs or flash drives and regularly check up on them?


Edit: OK, if you only/mostly have old (small) games - you can back them up (and duplicate them) to a limited amount of DVD/Bluray discs and keep checking up on them, without turning it into fulltime job.

Some of my research turned up some interesting points of view. Even M*Disk ($2/disk for 25GB M*Disk BD) claim 1,000 years, but there does not seem to be faith of 1,000 years behind it (DOD texted and they fair way better than traditional DVDs). But someone pointed out that it might be best to always re-create your optical disk backups every 10 years or so.

I was thinking more if an annual (or semi-annual) check on the disks. For example, once you have burned a DVD/BD/M*Disk, you can create some sort of disk verification script using crc-checks (or some hash values like they do for install iso files for linux os) for each disk. Then every 6-12 months, just pop in the disks one by one and compare them. Since GOG is not gone, you can always re-download and reburn a bad disk. If GOG goes away and leaves folks with nothing, then you would need an alternative source (maybe local disk, or cloud storage, and double optical). I suppose it depends on your goal/motivation to put these to disk... is it for ultimate backup for when GOG no longer provides the files? Or is it just book-shelf eye-candy for your favorite games?

BTW, the art here is AMAZING!!!! are they all typically sized for normal/full sized DVD cases (10.xmm)? (vs slim (7mm) DVD case or fat cases (14mm))? Where do you get them printed (ink would be a high cost on most of the art I have seen)?

I have 3,8 TB of DRM free installers... using optical discs and having control over their safety/workings comes close to "2nd job".
Also; sure, the GOG servers are nice to have - but I don't see them as a form of 'backup', since they aren't mine. If one day GOG goes the-way-of-the-dodo, I wouldn't expect the servers to stay available - they could be gone before anyone knows what's going on. (I'm not saying that that's how it will happen, just that it's a real possibility)
