Look for drives supporting BD..XL format.

Is this a desktop computer with a 5.5" bay? Or a laptop? New BD R/W drives for desktops are not terribly expensive. I have an ASUS BW-16D1HT in my desktop computer and it works well, although I've never tried to burn to 100G media with it. I think I got it on eBay for ~$50. My new laptop has no optical bay so I bought an external LG BD-RE BP50NB40 USB Blu-ray drive, which also works fine, and I can verify that it will burn to 100G media. If you use an external USB drive, get one with USB3, not for the speed, but for the voltage it will supply. I have an older external USB2 DVD drive and it came with a cable that forks to two heads to connect to the computer, in order to get enough current. I want my USB devices to work with USB power; I don't need any more wall warts in my life. Internal drives for laptops cost a bit more. Most are pretty much interchangeable, regardless of the brand of the laptop, except that they come in two different heights and you need to get one with the same height. The skinnier ones are more expensive. Other than the height the shape and dimensions are usually the same. Removal and installation for internal drives are pretty trivial. All you need is a screwdriver. The laptop drives have one or two screws that hold them in and you have to poke around to find them. On my old laptop the screw holding the drive in was accessible in the battery bay. Once you have removed the screw(s) you just pull the old drive out and push the new one in. But whichever drive you buy, make sure that they are advertised as capable of burning to 100G media. As you have already discovered, some cannot burn to such large discs. And some can read 100G but can burn only to 25G or 50G. ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

I'd like to replace my internal drive, but what do I replace it with and who has a new one? I consider this issue resolved for now, at least partially. ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

Question is, is my internal M disc drive capable of handling 100G disks? I'll find out once the 72,376.0 MB burn completes. I'm at 80% right now. The real test is checking the iso files after they are burned to disk. I probably don't need a full 72GB of Buster to install it, but I prefer to have everything available offline just in case. ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

Try k3b You will need the media inserted to the BD-writer for k3b to tell you what formats it can use. Seems to work with my LG drive - though I never burned 100GB media.

Not all Blu-ray burners are equal. Some can only burn 25G discs, some 50G and others full 100G media. The make and model number is a start, and sometimes you need the serial number to determine what it can do. you might be able to get those with sudo lshw.
