I'm just realizing that I have 220x23.3GB of BD-R and it's a total of 5126GB of storage.

@mangeurdenuage i never really got around to burning many BRs. maybe i really should start archiving some stuff from my fileserver, should be much cheaper than buying a bunch of new harddrives :)
@mangeurdenuage a few years back i had a bit of luck: a german store was selling refurbished 1TB server drives for ~40€, i got a few and made a ZFS pool from them. i think one of the discs failed and i replaced it with a wd red.
BD feels nice for archival of things one doesn't need that often.. i have some trashy 90s series burned to BR, just in case i really want to watch them again ;)
a disc changer NAS would be really nice, it also would make the burning much easier and less boring :)

I'm currently buying bundle of 25 BD-R for 14~20 euros, or 1165GB if you get 50 of them for 40 bucks max.
Which totals for 582,5GB of space (23.3 usable) and a time storage of 10 years if well stored.
A 1TB hdd with a five year warrant is 87 euros here
For a 500GB for 2 years warranty it's 47 euros, or 40~60 euros for a 1TB warrantied for 2~3 years.
The duopoly of western digital and seagate has created such a shit market that even bluerays are better mid term.
Then there's M-disc for very long term storage but the prices are outta this world. Almost 1 euros per gigabyte. But that's for important data.
What I'd like tho is a NAS that could load bluerays like the Sony CDP CX225 https://vid.puffyan.us/watch?v=6z7LEmqJpXQ
