My Blu-Ray isn't in a beast at the moment. In all the time I have had a
Blu-Ray drive I've never found a need for it. I think the first recorder
I had was in my PowerMac G5 but forgotten when that was installed - Macs
never had them, even as an option.>

I keep a single 5.25" floppy drive and a few 3.5" drives in a box out in
the garage. Haven't been used in yonks but they are retained - just in
case. You never know. The Blu-Ray is likely with them.>
