I own a BluRay writer. A few years ago I had a serious attempt at BluRay |
| 2 |
archival storage. It works - but it's slow (very slow) and expensive. Then |
| 3 |
there is the cost / GB - that remains high due to the low volume of BD-RE |
| 4 |
media sales... |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Now factor in the super high volume of MLC NAND flash SSDs prevalent on |
| 7 |
today's mass market. A good SSD will last far longer than the slowly |
| 8 |
degrading dye on a BD-RE disc. Just dust off an Intel SSD every 5 years and |
| 9 |
to run a level 2 Spinrite scan on it and it could potentially hold data for |
| 10 |
decades... No optical media could match that... |

All the best, |
