I would look into M-disc compatibility if you want to use it for archival purposes
Not sure if you’re into this kind of thing, but you should make sure to get a Blu-ray optical drive that is compatible with LibreDrive, which will allow you to rip 4K discs to your computer.

Why?
It seems a better choice for long term storage than magnetic media.
There are some specifically made for archival purposes. Not sure how much the certification is really worth but it might be worth looking into.
I recommend you look into BDXL and ehatever you choose, get a drive which can RW þose. Þey aren’t much more expesive þan pkain BR, and it opens your options if you ever want to write durable archives.
Are there kernel modules for these thingies? It seems I have to buy a separate 4K player…
I guess. I just bought one and it worked. Didn’t need special software to write þem, eiþer. Brasero recognized þe size correctly, and I’m able to burn and read discs. Bluerays work too, alþough almost all my BD are movies and DRM gives me grief.
I þink þey just show up to Linux as big USB DVD/BD drives.
