Data hoarders are terrified
I think we should have a hard alternative to cloud/digital only
100GB on blue ray discs sounds great, expensive but great to have the option
wild that keeping a format alive now means 2 companies not quitting. physical media is barely on life support
They just bought a one way ticket to bankruptcy
Unless you have something like Kaleidescape streaming quality is still far below blu-ray. It sucks that it has gotten to this point.
They left the important detail out of the title as usual. These are *recordable* blu-ray discs. How many of us ever even wrote one of these? It was always a pain.
Also, I wonder how many manufacturers are bothering to make drives that can write to these discs anymore. And, how many companies will bother to keep the writing software available as OS updates come? It’s a whole ecosystem to be able to read and write these, not just a media problem
Finally some good news for my physical media hoard
Finally some good news for my ancient media collection
M-DISC Blurays are the only remaining reliable long term storage alternative available for consumers, period…
With the way AI and subscription bullsh*t is going, I am seriously considering me some physical media again.
