So basically I want to buy Panasonic or Sony HTL BDs for archiving and store them somewhere dark and dry?
Unfortunately that data is eight years old and I'm not even sure if Panasonic and Sony even make BD-Rs anymore. Seeing a lot of out of stock Japanese imports on Amazon.de for both of them. I can really only find Verbatim BD-Rs and they didn't really perform that well in the comparisons.
I've actually been interested in BD archiving for a bit but haven't gotten into it yet because of the initial costs. I have about 1.1 TB of data that I'd like to archive for the long-term.
They're both definitely making them. If you got to a retail store in Japan, they'll have a HUGE section filled with BD-Rs and if you search Amazon JP you can see that tons of them are in stock.
You can always import them yourself. Tenso and Buyee both work great.
I think it's just that the western market doesn't care for them much, so you don't see anybody bothering to import them for you.
