Sony is killing off recordable Blu-ray, bidding farewell to disc burning | TechSpot - Lemmy.World

Bluray disk cost 25$ for 50gb and usb flash drive cost 5$ for 64gb
The 25GB disks are like 10¢.
Where? I see only 30$ for 5pack of 25gb bd-r
I’m not sure what country you’re in, but have you tried Amazon? I found Verbatim 50 packs of 25GB for $40 and Ridata (usually good quality discs) for $28. If you want small amounts there’s various 5 packs for less than $10.

www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004217228740.html true, now that you’ve showed me example, on Amazon it’s cheaper, i just didn’t bought Blu-ray disks before and this is what I’ve seen from advertisements
for 35€ you can get 512gb flash drive. kinda insane to think about that. maybe even cheaper but that was just what I found from my local store
Yes, flash memory came a very long way, when current nodes of 3nm going to be old enough for mass producing growth memory, there’s gonna be 5tb microsd cards probably, since we’re already having 2tb ones tomsguide.com/…/the-worlds-first-2tb-microsd-card…
The world’s first 2TB microSD card is here — what you need to know

microSD cards just got even bigger

Tom's Guide

the storage density growth is so mindboggling that I find myself hesitant to trust it lol. 2tb?

fuck me running

It’s getting harder and harder to make things smaller, but they are making things thinner now, which means they can layer them, thus increasing density.
Damn, a 50gb blu ray costs 2€ in my country.
How can I afford to buy Criterion Collection Blu-Rays for $14.99 if blu-ray discs cost $25?
Economy of scale and also slightly different, but related, media format. Criterion has them printed in bulk.
Yeah ok, but as we’ve established in this thread, Blu Ray discs don’t burst $25 a piece. So.
Again, writable Blu-ray is a slightly different format from what you would buy with a movie on it. They are not putting Criterion movies on the same discs you could burn them to in a drive.
That’s read-only, not read/write, plus they’re buying bulk.
