I've ordered an external burner - I'm not interrested in Blu-Ray itself,
but my Photo archive would require dozens of DVDs to secure (I remember
creating a set of 25 floppies to install OS/2, but that was long time ago).
I understand Blu-Ray uses DRM to handle video, but does this mean it's also
required to burn data? I want to burn Blu-Ray M-Discs (data only).
I'll switch to another OS if necessary (as it would only be for an
archival process) but of course I'd rather do it with Linux (and Trinity if
possible).
If I can provide any information once the hardware is there...

No drm for data/personal use; is the drm on the movie discs or in the
firmare ?
bluray comes in 25,50 & 100 gb discs. The 100 gb are $25+ per disc, the 25gb
~ $1.25. The cli tools for udf, bluray, burning are robust.
Some considerations I have discovered for archiving, archive the software,
hardware, software are needed also.
USB keys have some compelling features, usb is ubiqutious, how long it will be
an IO available on a pc is unknowable..there are quite a few deprecated IO
interfaces for pc's.
