Explanation

BD-RE (Blu-ray Disc Recordable Erasable) offers the largest optical disc capacity - 25GB per layer (50GB dual-layer, up to 100GB+ for BDXL) - and supports re-writing, satisfying both requirements. CD-RW holds only ~700MB. DVD-RW DL (Dual Layer) holds ~8.5GB, far less than Blu-ray. JAZ was a removable magnetic cartridge drive (not optical) that is now obsolete. BD-RE is the clear choice for maximum capacity with re-write capability.
