laternser 5 Report post Posted October 5, 2015 Did you know you can use Blu-Ray media with Retrospect? I didn't. Seems to be Windows only. Retrospect advertising lists only CD / DVD for Optical Media. Storage Device Table: http://www.retrospect.com/en/devices?utf8=%E2%9C%93&manufacturers=&interfaces=&media_types=Blu-ray&commit=Search The above url produces the following table which shows Blu-Ray media for Retrospect Windows. Product Name Manufacturer Interface Media types Windows Date _____________________________________________________________________ Panasonic SW-5582 Panasonic ATAPI Blu-ray Qualified -Panasonic SW-5583 Panasonic Serial-ATA Blu-ray Qualified -Panasonic SW-5584 Panasonic Serial-ATA Blu-ray Qualified -Plextor PX-B900A Plextor ATAPI Blu-ray Qualified - I have two new LG WH14NS40 that show up on "Storage Devices" as"BD-RE Wh14NS40" but do not allow device configuration .... With BD-R or DVD+R. I have not tried BD-RE. These are "Devices visible using NT Passthrough...." The Retrospect manual suggests that any passthrough device could be used with Retrospect. Blu-Ray is quite afforable. The LG Drives are popular and inexpensive. I purchased mine from Newegg for $38 each. Verbatim 10 pack of BD-R single layer 25GB media was just a bit over $10 (for 10). I have not found any indication of anyone having success with Blu-Ray. Have you used Blu-Ray? Help? - laternser 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
