  Unfortunately I don’t think Verbatim manufactures any quad-layer, so Sony was the only real option for 128GB disks.

  Furthermore, M-Disc is still very pricey per-GB, and their non M-Disc BD disks aren’t price that much better. I’ve also recently got a spindle of Verbatim BDXLs that every single one would fail to either write or read at the layer transitions, so having a single option here is already proving to be painful.

  I’m really supportive of this kind of protocol. I’ve long advocated for some system that allowed for micro-payments to support websites, both optional and paywall. We’ve seen what the expectation of having “free” services has gotten us, I’d much prefer to chip in to sites that provide me enjoyment or are informative.
