Best BDXL Drives for burning M-Discs for archival?

Post by QuestionAsker »

For purely archival purposes, what would be the best BDXL drives to get?

I was going to get two internal drives to burn mainly 25gb archival M-Discs.

(Possibly also burn 50gb and 100gb M-Discs, though I hear sticking to 25gb is most reliable).

Are the Pioneer 212's most recommended for this?

Or other drives I should also be looking at?

This forum is about ripping our movie discs using MakeMKV. We don't really write discs here so this is probably not the forum to be asking on.
Cheers :D

Thanks, I understand.

I'm also interested in preserving old movies I have, if that fits the use case.

There's no other forum that seems to be so knowledgeable about the Pioneer BDR drives, I hope it's OK I try to learn on here from you guys, and to try to procure one or two for myself.
