Sony has announced that it will be phasing out the production of recordable optical discs for the consumer market. From now on, this technology will be reserved for professional use, with consumers now largely preferring other forms of storage media.
The Japanese manufacturer Sony has decided to wind down production of four types of recordable Blu-ray discs, with storage capacities ranging from 25 to 128 GB, according to the Japanese website AV Watch. The news comes as no great surprise, given that demand for this type of storage has fallen steadily in recent years, in favor of other media such as USB flash drives and external hard drives, as well as cloud-based solutions.
