I have some Asus internal DVD burner writers that work great in Linux, so I would assume their blu-ray burners would work as well. The faster the write speed the faster it backs up. I have two LG external USB drives, one older DVD burner writer dual layer that still works well, and a newer LG blu-ray burner (model: BP50NB40) 2018 with "m-disc" support that also works well. I have been using the "K3b" disc application and its data option for creating my disc backups.ĪFAIK (as far as I know), any dvd or blu-ray burner writer drive that does not specifically say MS Windows or Mac only, and most do not, should work with Linux.

If you really need a permanent solution using the "m-disc" discs will last up to a thousand years and can withstand direct sunlight and higher heat, requires a burner with "m-disc" support although the discs can be played and read in any disc player. and Blu-Ray discs have much more capacity 25 gb, 50 gb, or 100 gb discs. I still believe that backing up to DVD or Blu-Ray discs is a smart move because these discs will outlast hard drives as long as they are not in direct sunlight or extreme heat (taken care of) not in a car or window sill, cannot be accidentally erased like a hard drive or USB stick, etc. If you run " inxi -Fxzd" and " lsusb" from the console terminal prompt, highlight the results, copy and paste them back here, that should provide enough information.

It would help to know more about your system setup. I just read your post and the good reply to it.
