|
 |
So I still use disks for lots of stuff, movies, games (and steam backups), a couple of series too and even some pr0n (you know... can't have some of that unforgivable pr0n lying around on your HDD, right?).
So I saw one of these
http://www.lg.com/us/computer-products/optical-media/LG-internal-dvd-burner-BH10LS30.jsp
selling for ~60€ earlier this week and I've been thinking of buying one ever since.
The discs are still a bit expensive, but a couple of disks would hold enough stuff so that I could take out one of my HDD's and use it on an older PC that's desperately needing a SATA disk.
So... what do you guys think?

One can get a 1TB drive for like $120 right now. Not a high performance one, but it'll still record/playback data faster then a BD-R.
The BD-R drive costs $100, and 15 25GB BD-R's cost $25. Thats only 375GB.
Add up the costs and the 1TB HDD is the cheaper route per GB. Not to mention much faster writing/reading data. It takes about 16 minutes to write a 25GB BD-R. 25GB's on an average 1TB will take a lot less.

Well speed is not a problem for me... and I've had and witnessed a few bad experiences with external HDD's.
Besides storing all my eggs in one basket never seemed like a good idea to me.
That and HDD's are fucking expensive right now.

Argh... I'll probably wait for the HDD prices to drop a bit, then.

I wouldnt invest in bluray at all. i feel like its a standard that will fade away and be replaced by something else
3080 | ps5 pro
Sin317-"im 31 years old and still surprised at how much shit comes out of my ass actually ..."
SteamDRM-"Call of Duty is the symbol of the true perfection in every aspect. Call of Duty games are like Mozart's/Beethoven's symphonies"
deadpoetic-"are you new to the cyberspace?"

It's a standard that will fade away and be replaced by nothing. Physical distribution of media in almost all cases will be dead in a decade.

I seriously don't get all the people who get bluray drives for a new rig... it's just stupid. Nobody uses bluray. Blockbuster in here had bankrupt because of it.

I have purchased that same drive some time ago and this is what I did. I used to collect all 1080P releases ...then I got into usenet, and updated everything to bd50 - then I realized I am using 10tb+ to store all of these ... then I started burning all bd50 releases, especially 3dBD of my 3dtv and movies I actually care to keep in optimal quality. I found a place online where I can order 10 blank bd50 discs for around $26 and 50 disc spindle oef bd25's here is around $30 too which is much better than a few months ago ... since I have a ps3/3dtv it makes sense for me to burn all blurays in their native form for my collection. If you have a fast internet connection and this is your goal then yes ... I have not had one single coaster yet and it takes less than 20 minutes to burn any full bd50!
fuck ...
