- layer8 3y agoYou might want to consider M-Discs.
- Hamuko 3y agoAFAIK, M-Discs don't really make a that much of a difference if you're not dealing with DVDs.
- a20eac1d 3y agoDo you mean in comparison to regular BDXL Blurays?
- Hamuko 3y agoBasically all non-LTH BDs. The way I've understood it, the big selling point in M-Disc DVDs vs. regular DVDs was the inorganic dye used in it. But if you buy a non-LTH BD, you'll have an inorganic dye anyways. The company that actually made M-Discs also went bust and there's a lot of conflicting information on the Internet whether or not the current M-Discs are real M-Discs or not.
- a20eac1d 3y agoThat's exactly what I've been looking into lately. Did you have any specific discs in mind? I recently bought "Sony Blu-ray BD-R XL 128GB", but I couldn't find any info whether its organic or inorganic.
- TacticalCoder 3y agoAny external BluRay reader/writer you'd recommend? (which supports disks from 25 GB up to the 128 GB you mention)?
- Hamuko 3y agoThe way I've understood it is that BDs are inorganic as long as you don't buy LTH discs.
