Abstract: In one embodiment, a storage media can comprise: a plastic substrate having a substrate composition, an optical layer having an optical layer composition different from the substrate composition, wherein the optical layer is a spin coated or injection molded; and a reflective layer disposed between the optical layer and the substrate. The storage media has a radial deviation over time of less than or equal to 1.15 degrees at a radius of 55 mm when exposed to a cycle at 25° C. of 50% relative humidity—90% relative humidity—50% relative humidity. In one embodiment, a method for making a data storage media, comprises: disposing a reflective layer on a plastic substrate, wherein the plastic layer comprises a thermoplastic, spin coating an optical layer onto the plastic substrate, wherein the optical layer comprises a thermoset, and disposing a protective layer on the substrate.

Abstract: A storage media having a radial deviation of less than or equal to about 1.15 degrees at a radius of 55 mm is disclosed. In one embodiment, the storage media comprises: a plastic substrate, an optical layer and a data storage layer disposed therebetween. A reflective layer is disposed between the data storage layer and the substrate.
