They’re not even making players anymore, there’s still burner stock around here and there but BDXL is EOL. More info here
Yah, I’m looking at backing up my NAS, currently use drives (RAID is not a backup). Libraries are physically huge and my needs are not that big, once the pain of the initial 25 or so is over, it’ll only be 1 every month or two. Still mulling it over, got some time, we’ll see what the market does. I have some hope WD is BSing about AI to goose the market price, and of course bubble may go boom anytime.
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.
