PJ, you had some valid observations for 5 years ago. The problem now is that
most optical drives shipped in PC's do not have enough storage density to be
worthwhile. Most people aren't buying blueRay they're still getting old dvd
drives. Best case you get 8.5gb per disk which you can meet/exceed with an sd
card that is lots smaller and easier to store. For true high density backup
there are 1tb+ external drives that are both inexpensive and small and best of
all easy to use.
With all of that said, the best "feature" of optical storage is that
the media is supposed to last and last and last... Of course, that requires a
working drive to read it.
You might be obsolete if:
an SD card has 8 times more capacity than you
you are larger than and weigh more than the drive you are backing up [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
