heck yeah! my buddies were making fun of me for trying to get an old BD rom to play nice with proxmox, and i have a stack of old bdr's from 10 years ago lol

Sounds like those old bdr's should be checked and possibly rearchived ๐Ÿ˜‚. I think the Blu-ray M-Discs are the ones that claim the longevity.
