no thanks i dont want to lose 1% of the data i store

You can mitigate it with DVDisaster but holy christ are these things slow as balls especially if you want to reliably imprint the data at a wopping 4.5 MB/s. I'd rather sell my kidney, lung, and left nut to Samsung and get a 2-bit SSD.

My plex server is better

just get a 2nd laptop that you can use while a disc is burning or watch a movie while it burns

i burn all mine at 2x (the slowest speed). it takes an hour and 40 minutes to burn a disc

i had only one disc that stopped working. it was the one i burned at the fasting speed. it was the first disc i burned
at the time i didn't realize to get a good burn you need to burn at the slowest speed

i could probably get working again by cleanest it or putting tooth paste on it

I have dreamcast games burned on shit CD-Rs that still work 20+ years later.

>>103995367
I looked up the price of storing 2TB of data on BD-R vs a 2TB hard drive, and the hard drive was unironically cheaper.

>>103996045
if you buy something like this maybe

https://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-404V173-2TB-DT01ABA/dp/B00N0OH2TA?crid=29G6ZPI9X4FRC&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.-u19YaJmhAUr5e_7_P-ICHFHiaKJrIGOZHyzggKvtl-3Iszx2XNKrzrGX3svDFWEbeoCm3g6mw-GWEbjTHMcOW3EU78t4fII4KWpuLsW8HcqE6K0SF-aZAY1yUOrfDcRwqamxQZElFEsWpWGbVKmKQQdfsaYqXB8DGb0SQhOMz9hu3aWOP-qNr7AbyakywH3vhPcCrVYT_rwRZryzpIQCkLCH54-TUB52_AKNh_lQfg.Ex_Q6WGQ_ppZIFog1ZXpXWC_V3S5ZUenRRST5IKb_5c&dib_tag=se&keywords=2tb+hdd&qid=1737568702&sprefix=2tb+hdd+%2Caps%2C708&sr=8-4

you can get 100 bd-rs(25GB) for 40 dollars

100 bd-rs(25GB) is 2.5TB altogether

burn fails at 98%

>>103995367
for now.
go check your backups in 3 years and post results

>>103996341
i have bd-rs older than that and they still work. i use them regularly

>optical
kek, what years is it

Which brands are solid choices for BD-R?

>>103995367
okay but will my psx play it?

>>103996857
imagine this being your job
you'd better be some wealthy VP's favorite idol or you're going to make some middle-class schoolboy mildly embarrassed

I LOVE PHYSICAL MEDIA

>>103996291
how do they do it when they mass produced movies on physical mediums?

>>103998562
they press them

>>103995367
there's no appeal to discs unless you already have all the necessary boomer tech that you accumulated over the years. The average person today has only a phone and at most a laptop that are both quickly losing even the micro sd card slot.

>>104001688
Zoomers are the demographic most interested in physical media

>>104001848
>physical media
zoomers are buying books, not disc readers

>>104002032
Nah, retro tech is booming crazy because we can't stand the modern world

>>103995367
>have to buy a noisy $100 player that will shit its self and the disc just to play these once or twice a year
kys

I just bought my first drive, what am I in for?
Any good software for Linux? I know there was stuff back in the day to keep track of which folders were on which CDs and such
Sadly availability and pricing of 50/100GB discs is very bad, I'd be way more interested in those but just ended up getting 50x25G for now.
I wanna have some offline backups as HDDs don't last forever.

>>103996045
>>103996166
Fuck if I could buy a 2TB HDD for $25 I'd buy them to use like discs. Americans have it so good for storage. Yes a 20TB HDD current even for me is the cheapest per TB, but also likely to last less and youll lost a lot more when it fails. DL/TL/QL BD still has its place.

Is there a reason some of my old pressed DVDs have "Burned with: Toast Titanium for Macintosh" in their info?
>>104001688
Fucking normalnigger death already, nobody has a prison pocket surbeilance device anymore, its not android 2 days anymore you can't do anything cool with them anymore.
You just replace your DVD in your PC with it.
I'm building a brand new high end PC with my first BD drive.
>>104002107
Everything made after 2010 is fucking cancer, anyone with half a braincell knows this, not all zoomers are braindead, just most of them.
>>104002811
I've never had an optical drive fail, which is funny because I now own more DVD drives than I could go through it multiple lifetimes even if I was abusing them 24/7, can't say the same about flash.
