The prices of Blu-ray drives and media have been dropping as of late, making it a more interesting data back-up option since each single layer disc can hold 25 GB of data.  This unit from LG is multi-talented handling a variety of formats including DVD-+RW CD-RW, Blu-ray and HD-DVD discs.  Dual layer Blu-ray and HD-DVD media is also compatible.  Other features include LightScribe for neat labeling.

Compared to external HDD, Blu-ray is still more expensive averaging $0.47 per GB versus $0.20, but it just might be more practical for off-site storage and archiving.  But hey, being cutting edge is never cheap.
