I think Sony's Optical Disc Archive cartridge is the best consumer digital storage solution (lemmy.world)

They want us on clouds paying for a subscription. Otherwise these cartridges which can hold terabytes and last for 50+ years would be dirt cheap like your ex.

A cabinet like device where it has an arm to change tbe cartridges, and a software/ssd to view metadada, thumbnail, video preview is all a family needs... I think

I want to preserve data but it is hard and costly.

Bonus: imagine if the software would help you pic archival grade file formats and warn you when a file format is going obsolete.

There is a cool software I use called Wincatalog.

not because of the hardware.

The main cost is the hardware you could have open source NAS OS's

The thing you read about optical discs is not about HTL inorganic blurays

You read about CD's which uses an organize layer for the data.

Inorganic HTL blurays lasts 50+ years, and can be stored in room temperature and at high humidity.

About the box, those sleeves are not.designed for archival disc archival storage boxes protect blurays from scratches

And sony Archival Discs are inside a cartridge protected from scratches
