thinking that your archival disk will survive without being damaged or lost is wishful thinking
more importantly, you would also need a disk reader
will any disk readers (or documents to reconstruct them) that are able to read your disk survive for as long as the disk?
even punch cards stored in proper conditions will last over 100 years. if you have stack of an uncommon type of punch card, it may be difficult to find a card reader for it in 2025. you also want to connect such a device to a modern computer.
if it stops being reproduced, the data will rot away and die. reproduction is the best way to prevent extinction. this applies to both the data and to the technology to preserve it.
unfortunately (for preservation), older technologies tend to cease production after some time of being obsoleted. im not saying that you fell for their marketing, but it is unlikely that the archival disk techonology that you are using will be useful for as long as advertised. everything that does not have a reason to survive is ephemeral as are the lives of ours on this earth?
