Here's the question. Has anyone used a Blu-ray burner in HTPC to record off air broadcast or other souce to BD or DVD. I will have only a limited size SSD in my HTPC and while I can always record to NAS or external USB drive, I'm just wondering what advantage there might be to having a Blu-ray burner as opposed to just a player in my HTPC. Any comments would be appreciated. Also, any recommended BD drives?

And what about noise? Is any Bluray drive significantly more silent than others or is it almost same?
