Comments by "Mikko Rantalainen" (@MikkoRantalainen) on "DVD-RAM: The Disc that Behaved like a Flash Drive" video.
I had CD-R, CD-RW and DVD-RW drives in my computers over various years and I still wasn't aware that DVD-RAM was available without the cartridge! I guess marketing of DVD-RAM was total failure at least here in Finland.

@nonAehT Since around year 2005 Topfield TF5100PVRc / TF5100PVRt was the total winner solution here in Finland. It had normal IDE hard drive and hobbyists created superb software for it to replace the official EPG and UI (it supported running user created software from the factory!). Even today, all devices you can connect to a TV set still have worse features for timeshifting and recording TV. The biggest problem with these devices was that it only supported 576i50 so no HD of any kind was possible.
