I’m looking for a trustful method for offline (external) storage. I used to save stuff in 4 GB DVDs because they are cheap, although have very small storage limit for nowadays standards.

If I go for external HDDs, I’ll probably have to buy a NAS or something, so I’m considering go for DVDs again. Are they considered reasonably trustful?

Any suggestions, considering I’m look for a not very expensive solution?

    If i remember correctly HDDs have a lifespan of about 50 years, while SSDs only 10. So I’d suggest you to buy an HDD

    If you all you care about is TB/$ you still cannot beat tape as long as you are using enough tapes.

    It really depends how much you are talking about
