I'm not being sarcastic when I ask this, I don't own a BR burner:
Do blu ray discs not fail when burned? CD's used to fail all the time when I burned them... especially on my early 4x burner. Even after the discs started using buffering, discs sometimes fail when burned.
Do these $25 discs fail?
Also, I know hard drives fail, but I've got 5 internal drives in my home system, one external, and two hard drives in each the two servers I run. I've had many hard drives over the years, but none have failed me. Call me old school, but I'd take my chances with a hard drive over a optical disc, any day.
Besides, we've had 50gb backup's for many years... it's called a tape drive, and they're pretty fast.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
