1. A data storage media, comprising:

  • a substrate having a first side comprising a plastic portion, a surface roughness of less than about 10 Å

    , and an axial displacement peak of less than about 500μ

    under shock and/or vibration excitation when excited by a 1 G sinusoidal loading, wherein said plastic portion has a thickness of less than about 50μ

    ;

    an additional layer having a thickness of less than about 1,000 Å

    . wherein said additional layer is disposed in physical contact with said plastic portion; and

    magnetic data layer on said additional layer, wherein said magnetic data layer has a coercivity of greater than about 1,500 ocrsted;

    wherein said data layer can be at least partly read from, written to, or a combination thereof by an energy field; and

    wherein, when the energy field contacts said data storage media the energy field is incident upon said data layer before it could be incident upon said substrate.
