You better stock up on recordable Blu-ray discs if you use it for archiving your data.

      fortunately, this change does not affect Bluray movies you can buy at the store. This is only about recordable Bluray drives, which basically no one uses on a consumer level.

        I’m pretty sure some people use them for backups.

          I’m sure they do, but I feel like even on r/datahoarders, I only ever see people talk about masses of HDDs, tape drives, or cloud storage.

          8Tb optical disks don’t exist. Much cheaper to just do spinning-rust or cloud.
