DVD optical drives don't read Blu-rays. You would need a Blu-ray drive. Whether or not you want to burn Blu-rays is up to you. -- nm - Shaun Feb 5, 11:27 4
- well, there are dvd burner drives that read blurays (i am looking at one now on newegg). -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 5, 11:30 3
  - those would have a read/write dvd head and a read-only BR head since they are different technologies. -- nm - zork Feb 5, 11:39
  - Sounds more like a Blu-ray drive that can burn dvds. - Shaun Feb 5, 11:36 1

I don't think I've ever in my life burned a bluray disc - oblique [220] Feb 5, 11:24 7
- I have but I stopped the moment UV became a real thing. -- nm - David Feb 5, 11:25
- i dont need to burn. i just want it to convert blurays to the UV locker. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 5, 11:25 5
  - Then why would you go beyond the Blu-Ray reader? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 5, 11:25 4
    - its $10 more for the burner option. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 5, 11:27 3
      - So, why waste $10? -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 11:27 2
        
        my only thought was that i could backup more on blurays. but i dont think its worth the price. - tRuMaN Feb 5, 11:28 1
        
        Blank Blu-rays are still expensive imo. Eff that! -- nm - Shaun Feb 5, 11:29
