You'll pay less for one BD disc than the number of DVDs to store the same amount of data. > How about joining the 21st century and not using one-time-write optical discs for general data storage? You can get a 128GB USB 3.1 flash drive at Micro Center for $9.99. That’s 5x the storage of a BD-R disc and it can be rewritten thousands of times. Unlike DVD drives, Blu-Ray drives are relatively uncommon on personal computers, making BD-R discs unappealing as data distribution media. Unless your goal is to form another optical disc layer through which future archaeologists must dig in order to reach the AOL free CD layer, I’m not seeing much appeal to BD-R for most users.
