Hi Arthur -- Do you use Blu-ray Writer with BDXL support - 100+GB per disk? I'm looking to purchase one in the near future - which one should I select? Here is the list form Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=BDXL%20External This one seems to be the best - based on customers' reviews: http://www.amazon.com/Pawtec-External-Aluminum-Blu-Ray-Writer/dp/B00D53J5P0 But BD-R 100GB disks are still quite expensive, especially here. So does it make sense to purchase a Blu-Ray Writer with BDXL support - wouldn't a Blu-Ray device with 25GB (50GB) disks support enough for now? Thank you. -- Shamil Saturday, February 1, 2014 1:37 PM -05:00 from Arthur Fuller <fuller.artful at gmail.com>: >Precisely my point, Jim.
