I'm sitting on 5,000+ dvd's that I have burned...BLU Ray finally seems to be reasonably priced with discs about $3 each - and hopefully going down. But, is SD flash going to be the storage solution in a couple of years ? People already say that BLU Ray is obsolete, that may be true, but the replacement has to be viable from a financial stand point..

so what to do ? I'm ready to pull the trigger on BLU Ray as I'm tired of burning so many discs, and it would be nice to back up major stuff on one disc instead of spanned across 5.
But where is that going to be in 1-2 yrs ?

The thought of a binder with 128 gig sd cards sounds amazing, you could have all your stuff stored in a tiny footprint...anyway, who has a crystal ball ?

thanks ....
 
you can get blanks for under 2 bucks these days. I got fed up with burning discs and decided to go with just buying hard drives instead. Think it has something to do with my blu ray burner being on my laptop. XD

paying $60.00 to $70.00 for 1TB hard drives just seems like a much better way to go imho.
 
I gave up storing stuff on CD/DVD a long time ago. HDD is the future for now, until SSDs take over. $/GB, hard drives cant be beat. There is also the added advantage that HDDs are dynamic and you can change files at any time. Only disadvantage is that hard drives are unpredictable and can fail at any time so you always need to keep the backups on multiple drives.
