M-discs do not, and this is m-disc compatible. That's what I use for my long-term storage.
I'm shocked that there is an Amazon Basics UHD Blu-ray drive, and that it's that high.

Is anybody getting this for cold storage? It looks like the discs cost $100/TB but it might be worth it to somebody to have something that doesn't fail in the same way as HDDs or flash memory.



This was removed in 11th gen "Rocket Lake", so I guess that limits playback to four generations of Intel hardware [tomshardware.com] unless the DRM is cracked.
Making things in 2023 with micro usb ports is a hate crime.

The First Review on Amazon implies Libre works. If ripping UHD bluray is your use case, this is a great price.

$100/TB for disc storage. Thats expensive. Is this because the market for this isn't as big as it used to be? Back when DVDs were the primary format you could buy DVDRWs for almost nothing. Heck, I still have a bunch of spindles I never used.

Optical disks rot over time.
You could get a used LTO drive and have long term storage on tape.

They keep claiming it, but I've yet to see it

I pulled mp3s off of cds that I burned in 1997, and it got them all. The only ones that gave me problems were ones I beat to hell from lugging them back and forth to work back then. I scratched the hell out of those, but still got almost everything off of them.

I would like to know this as well. I have an LG drive that I had to crack, wanting to get a backup drive for when the LG finally dies
