If thy media treasures must outlast thy neighbor's doggo, trust not the whir of drives. HDDs fail in 3 - 6 years, SSDs fade in 5 - 10, built with quiet obsolescence so you aren't even aware they are failing until it is too late and then maybe your *entire collection* gets bricked at once during a single cross state move because you didn't listen to repeated warnings you gd pos fucking idiot.
20 fucking TBs!!!
Back ups of back ups of back ups. All wiped out!!
You fuckwit!!
A decade & a half of work!!
Everything gone.
Everything ...but
... the DVDs.
And CDs.<3
A plain, write-once DVD, well burned and kept cool and dark, endureth 30–50 years(!!!). No secret killswitch, no central master, no miniature EMP to fry all your devices without needing a search warrant-- each disc a sovereign shard of Western canon, a circular light crystal!
& remember: if it’s worth archiving, then it’s worth two hours to burn twenty beautiful copies and hide them far and wide.
Buy a spare burner anon; but TW0!; decentralize thy trove and thou shalt ne’er be without.
Hot damn, young team is so good
