But really, who the actual **** is going to see this and say, hey I need to buy a burner so I can jump on this? Absolutely no one. This is for those of us who use BD-Rs currently *FOR WHATEVER REASON*.
For those curious, uses for this are largely DV, piracy, or law-firm based (DV: here's a copy of your wedding, piracy: send compressed tv shows /movies to parents/people with readers or for SUPER LONG STORAGE/copy smaller 1080p BR movies, law firms: send client data/police interviews to expert witnesses) which is why the higher size discs aren't readily / affordably available for consumers in the US (BDXL discs are up to 128GB per disc and are quite pricey in the US, much less so in Japan , and most modern burners / readers support them ala the LG WH14NS40.) If you want more space and have a BD burner that supports them the best current deal on the XL media that I've noticed in the us is the 100GB versions for ~$6.50 per @ amazon ( https://www.amazon.com/Verbatim-1...00POY826G/ ) In japan it's closer to $3 per.
This is a pretty standard price for BD-R media, but usually for this price you end up going to plexmedia or ridata at a much lower claimed writable speed.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk
This is why Sony makes 5.5 TB discs that they refuse to sell to the public. Called ODS. Credit card companies back up all transactions onto them.

Who uses these discs? Photographers, people backing up scans of family photos to spread around to family in case of a fire or other disaster.
I have a ton of hard drive storage but use Blu-ray to back up my photos, from my now old, but very capable, D7100. The list of who uses Blu-ray discs is just too long to list. Just when you think you've thought of everything someone will add to that list. They're not just for video. You can store anything on them.
There's such a thing as vintage computer collectors who use floppy disks, CD, DVD and BD with those computers.
I'm shocked that people can't understand why anyone would want an optical drive. I've read posts from gamers who say they should just quit making computer cases with 5.25 bays because they're ugly. They also say two 4TB NVMe SSD's are all you need.
They're living in a bubble. Computers are general purpose computing devices, not game consoles. I had to spend quite a bit to get a good case with plenty of fan and storage mount options because they're not made in quantity anymore. Glass cases are the thing these days, so companies don't produce many with 5.25 bays, if they make any. Most have one or two 5.25 bays, and most of those are junk.
Then you have larger specialty cases that are not produced in large quantities and they're expensive. I ended up with a anidees AI Raider XL that has twelve 5.25 bays. It has two Blu-ray burners and a front USB hub. The rest of the bays are used for intake fans. I'd say it's the best large case, under $400-$500, with lots of fan and drive mount options, and it's a great looking case with good filtering.
You can buy TV boxes that that can record to a USB hard drive. You could record all of your favorite TV shows and store them on hard drives, but 8TB won't last long. Look up Encyclosphere. You're not going to put that in 8TB of storage space.
I'm not trying to knock anyone's choice of case or whatever. I'm just pointing out that there's lots of people doing things with their computers that other people have never thought of. Sure, there's cheaper Blu-ray discs, but if you're using them for backup of anything, you want good ones. I'm sure plenty of people will tell us what they use them for. This is a good deal.

So, no, they're not a good option for backing up your PB of stuff, but they're a great option for that really important data that you want to survive when your house gets flooded, or if you want the data to last 50+ years in storage.
