Re: Hard Drive Deals

said by Guspaz:

Umm, what other reason is there to buy a bluray drive except to play commercial bluray discs?

Given the reasonable size, I would use them for data storage. I would back up my photo library.

Optical media is so last year. a buck each, for one time use is quite expensive. I'd rather purchase a mechanical drive (1.5tb for $69 for example)then store anything on optical any more.

For off site, optical is better. My in laws are not going to want to hold onto a hard drive, but a couple of discs, sure.
