I'm a noob, can someone point me to the best option for burning and reading all types of discs?

I'm new to this world but I'd love to find a drive to back up my 4k movie disc collection, burn M Discs to back up family photos and videos along with important documents, and burn high end CD-Rs for use in retro game consoles like Sega CD/Playstation/Saturn/Dreamcast. From my searching it appears all the best options for this are discontinued. Can anyone point me towards where I can buy the best option? Thank you for your help and patience!

Yes, LG and Pioneer no longer manufacture drives. You can still find some OEM versions such as ASUS, Buffalo and Verbatim. The Verbatim 43888 would likely be your best bet as you can flash omnidrive firmware to it for copying game discs.
