I just need to preserve some old data that I have on my computers, so I was wondering what would be the best way to archive stuff long term.
Blu-ray disks ? Multiple HDDs ? What do you guys suggest ?

If you have enough data: Tapes. Tapes are so hilariously cheap to keep. Write them and keep them in a fire proof box. No power needed to keep platters spinning. 45TB/tape!
I have never used tapes, but I want to use it if it’s viable. I only have about 3TB of data currently.
Tapes only make financial sense if you’re in the hundreds of TB.
