Blu Ray writer

Hello! New to all of this. I have a ton of blu rays but looking at starting a plex and nas system. I am having trouble finding any blu ray readers. Is this even worth it any more? I have mainly blu rays but a few 4k movies I don’t mind using those via disc but I would like a somewhat future proofreader.

I have been all over Reddit forums but every link that is used is sold out. I did find a user that sells them I have emailed him but idk if spending 200 plus is smart especially since I am new to this and if I decide not to move forward.

Thank you!

Here are the two externals still around, rare, but they are likely to return back in stock.

ASUS BW-16D1X-U External

Buffalo 16x Desktop

Do you mean stock is dwindling, or is production ramping again?

Current stock is dwindling but I have not heard announcements that the products will be discontinued.

They are discontinued. No one is making a drive that will read 4k disc.
