Have you burned one of these?

Have you made use of a BD-XL? What did you put on the disc,

all my HD dolphin porn

961,328 Loli pictures (ALL DECENSORED)
45,421 Loli Doujinshi (ALL DECENSORED)

Total MB used: 111284~109GB

For what purpose? Delete that shit before you turn into a pedophile.

Ew, I don't fap to it. I read the Doujinshi for story, and sift through the pictures for desktop waifus. Masterbation is for the weak.

I don't believe you.

Believe whatever you want. I'm a collector by heart, and enjoy my collection. I find them all to be special and unique in their own ways. You are just a fag op, you will never understand.

I don't understand autism, sorry.

You're ill.

bd-XL you say? I'll burn your mom on one, and I just did. Wuba wuba dub dub!

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired social interaction, verbal and non-verbal communication, and restricted and repetitive behavior.

[ ] impaired social interaction
[ ] impaired verbal and non-verbal communication
[*] restricted and repetitve behavior

hmm, maybe 1/3rd autistic. I do have friends, and a gf. I can speak just fine, and don't really care about words or speech. I like my daily routine though.

Can you tie your shoes?

Yes.

>collection
Just admit it, you're a data hoarder. Saying that you're a "collector" or "archiver" is superfluous.

1TB when?

Well, I hope your gf never sees your collection.

i don't even have a disk drive since 2006.

like literally what the fuck would you use it for.

The difference between collecting and hoarding is organisation.
If you can recall any random item in your collection with little effort, that isn't hoarding.

A library, for example is a collection.
A house filled with piles of shit is not.

>collector by heart
>beta autistic hoarder

what's a good external burner?

Don't go around changing definitions, m8. Hoarding is hoarding whether you organize or not.

This might be true. I have collected:
All Nintendo roms up to gamecube
All Sega roms
All PS1 roms
All PS2 roms
and muh lolis.
I keep each collection maticulously organized by language, then genre, then quality on a 8 star based system.

Showed her, she didn't care.

I'm always the dom when my gf gets into kinky shit.

i don't understand the logic of storing valuable data in a fragile medium like a disc. solid state and hdd isn't any better due to lifespan.

In that case, 'hoarding' is a term with little to no meaning.
Calling someone a 'data hoarder' is itself superfluous.

Yep just a backup of my 10years worth of photos and a few documents. One at my parents one in my fireproof safe.

Fuck the cloud

With the right chemical make-up, a disc is one of the least fragile mediums we have for long term data storage.
A well made pressed disc treated reasonably well will for example outlast anyone trying to read it.

The main problem for longevity is the organic dies used in recordable discs.
They will break down over time (taking any data stored on it with them).
Discs do exist which avoid this, but they are quite expensive on a dollar per gigabyte basis.

Contrary to popular belief; things like scratches, etc generally pose little problem for data longevity with discs.
So long as they are not too deep as to scratch the actual data layer, they can be removed by resurfacing the bottom acrylic layer to a depth required to render them no longer an obstacle.

Discs are also one of the few storage mediums that can survive being completely submerged in things like water and sand for a long period without any damage. And being that they are free of electrical components, they will also survive magnetic or EMP like damage, and the reader can be easily replaced upon failure.

lol this
i found a ten year old disc i'd lost in the garden of my parents house
it was missing a chunk off the corner but still read fine because i'd used dvdisaster to put error correction on the disc
sounded like fucking ass when it was being read tho

>organic dies used in recordable discs
obviously you have no idea about the blu-ray spec
The official spec states that it is mandatory for manufacturers to use a metallic material for the data layer. M-disc can serve as a best case scenario for modern blu-rays. The fact that they work with every pre-existing reader and writer without any sort of firmware update means that they adhere to the spec to a reasonable degree.

I meant discs in general.
Each 'generation' is better than the last in that respect.
CD-R had a problem with the reflective layer being too close to the top of the disc allowing damage to the material.
DVD-R had bad problems with low quality dyes.

That being said, there does exist BD-R media which use an organic layer although it is becoming increasingly uncommon.

4K henters movies, with full working menus

>tow BD discs aren't even big enough to hold an entire game anymore
>tfw Xbox has immediately download 10GB of the game before it can even play
>tfw it has to install every disc to the HDD before it will play

I would never go back to optical media. It takes to long to burn a disc. I remember waiting 15 minutes to burn a CD. It takes about 15 minutes to transfer 150 GB of files. I can't imagine how long it was take to put 128 GB on a disc.

yeah seriously I haven't had a PC with a disk drive in 3 years

25 usd for 1 fucking 100gb bluray

welcome to $ony

Wanna upload it? Im on 60GB on my sd card and still have 140gb left to fill

Well, at least the normal BD-Rs are relatively cheap.

I still use good old DVDs
With enough compression you can fit quite a bit on there

Goddamn it, tape is already expensive as shit, I can't accept quality optical technology meeting the same fate. Those Optical Disc Archives thing cost thousands for the drive and each cartridge is like a hundred bucks.

Will HDDs be next? Will flash memory all we'll have left? Fucking hell.

This must be a push towards LE CLOUD. I wonder who's behind this.

That's so the data can be read faster then scanning a laser on a disk.

Doesn't help that many goverments heavily tax CDs, DVDs,...
