Yip, no worrying about decaying paper. Scanned all my photos years ago into .PCX files on 5.25" floppies so I'm safe.
LOL...
This device SUCKS , do not buy. they sold these on Woot for $60 a week ago. I bought one to try and its horrible..... dumbest device , I expected a copy stand style gear and its just junk.

Ok. What am I missing? Can't a basic canon or epson scanner do that and more?
#1, you make a valid point about slowly decaying paper perhaps being the longest-lasting archival choice. Changing file formats and especially physical media changes over the years (anyone remember zip drives and LS-120 SuperDisks?) can be a pain to keep up with.
Question for all:
For storage in a fire-resistant safe, which media choice would be safest--optical media (bit-rot concerns?) or flash media? Keep in mind that the safe releases moisture internally to protect the contents during a fire event...
Off site storage.
Save data to HD-DVD media ;P

What everyone here seems to be forgetting is the manufacturer of this device: Hammacher Schlemmer! Any brand that sells exclusively in airplane magazines has GOT to be top notch!
#11, not quite "exclusively" as Hammacher Schlemmer has a B&M store in New York. Is a pretty cool place.
Flash Media is the most resistant to heat and liquid, but it will also bit-rot after sitting for close to a decade, but should remain more reliable than anything else until then unless you do something risky like plug it into a windows box's USB port since windows likes to corrupt flash drives if they fall offline in the middle of cached writing.

I tried that, but Dwayne Johnson kept bleeding all over my data.
That attempt at humor did not succeed.
