And partially because I think spinny media is cool.\n\nI currently got two secondhand options for the drive:\n\n  * Pioneer BDR-209EBK\n  * Panasonic UJ272\n\n\n\nThe drive will be plugged into my server (6th gen i5-6600, old desktop) via SATA. It will probably only read the disks I write so DRM is not much of a concern.\n\nThe disks will mostly be used as archival storage. Most of the time, they will be transferred to SSD a few days/hours before streaming, though sometimes they may be played straight from BD-R\n\nAside from that, most of the Blu-Ray writing software I found is GUI. So I’d also appreciate something I could control via web or CLI",
