I know math's hard man, but if you're going to thread crap at least do the simple math correctly 25GB*50 is not 750GB (that's 25x30) it's 1250GB which is shockingly enough more than a TB (still if you're happy with HDs, that is and likely always will be *much* cheaper.) - and before anyone @'s me, yes it's not really 25GB usable per disc , but a 1TB drive is equally not 1TB usable, they're using the same sort of math drive makers do which is what we all do when giving the price per tb of a drive. We don't convert and then divide, we just divide by the 1000byte number as it's easier.

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

Crucial data in case of EMP. Doesn't have to be nuclear war. SSD and HDD alike are susceptible.

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.

Quote from This_Field :
I can understand the use case for professional photographers. However, even if someone wants to use physical media instead of cloud storage, USB drives, or SD cards for backing up family photos I would think CDs, & DVDs would be the better option for that given those formats are still more common than BDs.
The problem is that burned CD and nearly all burned DVDs (except MDisc) use organic dyes that eventually rot away, causing the data to rot away. In contrast, nearly all BDRs (except the LTH ones that are rare) use inorganic layers to store the data.

So if you want archival, I think MDisc or BDR are the best options.

Specs are wrong then. The ones they shipped me are made in Taiwan.

Not really. Maybe by a bit, but these are not archival-quality and will probably start delaminating in 10-15 years.
Cloud storage would be way better due to data redundancy and off-site location.
Cloud storage, wouldn't be my ideal choice. It's not even your data at that point. Plus you have to pay for it forever.

This was a very informative post on a niche need. I worked at compusa before it went out of business, when writable bd just started. I specifically remeber that a 3 pack of writable bd was 50$. I remember thinking to myself, when will these things rival dvdr prices. Today I got that answer. Took from 2008 until now. 17 years.

And these are the ones to get to have a good chance to last. I've had MicroCenter Windata BD-Rs disc rot within a few years. Also had just one Optical Quantum but that may have been a one-off.

It's discontinued for a long time ago. Some companies and GOV agencies use AFA(All-flash Array or All-flash storage). The equipment must remain powered on 24 hours a day.🤣

What do people even use these for these days? This is coming from someone who still buys physical media and has a Panasonic UB820. I just don't see the point in blank 25gb discs. Most UHD 4K films are 50-100GB. So what do you put on a 25GB BD that you can't put on an external drive?

Why do people still buy physical movie media

lol jokes on you

That's good to know. I haven't burned a disc in years. I used ImgBurn back in the day. I went on their website and saw the app hasn't been updated since 2013! EEK! I assume the app still works.

ImgBurn is still my preferred app, and it works fine on Windows 11 in my experience.
