Yes you guessed it blu-ray drives.

Just picked up a blu-ray writer to back up my photos, never bothered before so I thought now would be a good time seen as I hit 100GB of images.

I did have a DVD-Writer but honestly i didn't fancy the prospect of sitting there for about 12 hours and swapping discs that much.

Blu-ray is so much faster and obviously the disc capacity is much greater. The coatings used on the discs are supposed to be tougher than DVD's too so from an archive stand point its a win win.

This drive is also about 10 times quieter than my last one too which is an added bonus.

Ok geek mode over.

Photographing a club night tonight for a friend, should be fun, but the first time i have done something like that... hope the batteries last in my flash gun.
