Yep, tossed hundreds of discs. Most of them were "backups" of Netflix discs, but they are long gone.

MakeMKV is the best option. It rips it directly off the disc exactly like it was put on the disc.

If you have a backup, not concerned at all. If not....extremely concerned.

SSDs do not lose data without electricity. This has been debunked as far back as 2015. That said, reasonable safe storage conditions (temperature, moisture, etc.) should be a no brainer. Don't shove them in a box in an outdoor storage building for years and expect good outcomes.
