Somewhat OT: Data backup using Blu Ray




I need to backup a 340GB hard drive.

Has anyone here used Blu Ray for this purpose?

After reading a bit about the subject, it appears that there are four types
of Blu Ray writable formats:

BD-R (25GB write once)
BD-R DL (50GB write once)
BD-RE (25GB rewritable)
BD-RE DL (50GB rewritable)

It seems that these discs can cost anywhere from $12 (BD-R) to $50 (BD-RE
DL).

It would be nice to find a less expensive method of backing up this 340GB
drive, but perhaps this is the most reliable and compact method.

Any other ideas?
