For those who have asked or may ask in the future here is the link for what I bought from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08R89FN61?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 The most current firmware on the Vinpower Digital website is still v1.02 date 09/27/2022 so you should still be able to c...

This is my first Blu-ray burner so I've never burned a BD yet. It's been a year or two since I've burned and DVDs. I still burn an occasional audio CD or boot recovery CD but that's it. If you catch them on sale you can get enterprise level 16-20 TB HDDs for $260 USD or less. If you spin them up and...
