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

    i think that’s it. We used to use CD-Rs and DVD-Rs to record playlists and movies, respectively. Data hoarders today will prefer multi-hard drive servers over burning everything to Bluray, and for one-time file transfers, we have flash drives and online file shares. I just can’t think of a use case for BR-R that isn’t better served by a different technology.
