I thought LG was still manufacturing burners?

Saying that though, the price of those is like $200+ now apparently, which is crazy since I have two I originally got for about $80.

My issue with tape is ultimately the cost of drives, most of the time you’re just as well of buying an actual library device.

Plus managing the tape contents seems difficult.

If HDD prices ever go back down I’ll probably have to just make a NAS storage appliance.

Few manufacturers of burnable BD media these days. Sony left the market uh, I think last year.

Verbatim has said they’ll continue making them, as far as I can tell they’re the only company doing BDXLs — some are doing single layer.

For WORM backup media Blu-Ray is basically what we’ve got, and it’s concerning basically only one company is making it. Pioneer also left the player market so the quality of reading/writing devices is also getting questionable.
