Costs of blank single layer Blue Ray write-once disks.

Hi.

I'm used to buying 100 blank DVD-Rs for around not a lot.

e.g.  Datawrite Titanium Branded 16x DVD-R (Pack of 50) £3.99 + VAT + P&P (Say around $10).

For one of the archives I make, I'm making a DVD every 15 or so days (ultrasonic scans of new tyres).

As production of the scans increase, I'm needing to make disks more frequently.

So, got myself an LG http://www.lge.com/uk/it-products/dvd-and-blu-ray-drives/LG-blu-ray-recorders-GGWH20L.jsp

Interestingly, no sign of dual layer BD writing, but I believe that is always available for modern BD writers.


Anyway, the cost I've seen of the single layer disks is considerably higher per gigabyte per disk.

For the DVD (£3.99 / (4.7GB * 50disks)) = £0.0170 per gigabyte (excluding VAT/tax and P&P).
For the single layer BlueRay (£3.21 / 25) = £0.1284 per gigabyte - 7.5 times more expensive.

And the quantity I can buy is single disks or a pack of 10 re-writables.

So, what is the normal price per gb for single layer bluerays.

Any good UK suppliers.
