Blue Ray for data, anyone?

[disciple]

was on neweg just now, and saw that the price of a Blue Ray reqritable drive is around 200.

the media, however, near that price too..lol so that out of the question for now

saw some dual layer regular dvd. 20 discs for 26, or sumn so.. might be in order
which brings me to my question..

Hard drives are cheaper and much more convenient. 1tb hdd's ftw right now.

i know.*slaps head*
 i never rock a raid fuh home.. i just may, eventually.. but i still like to have my ish backed up off site ( okay. just on a desk opposite the pc LOL) but seeing that a tape drive will be overkill, i still feel safer with the optical

Cpt stings "Terafabulous" and runs*

Why not use external drives...they're not that much more expensive than their internal counterparts. That's all im willing to buy these days as my pc is already crammed with 3 drives...not to mention externals add to the convenience factor and put less strain on your PSU...and can be turned on only when needed. Did I say they are cheap?

Oh I hate optical media. The only time I wanna see a cd is my original media and in my deck and even then, is flash based media ftw. I have a bunch of dvd's that cant read the data at the edges....which in most cases render the whole damn disc useless.
