how much data do you have? more importantly, how much money do you have?
About 2tb

Please refrain from touching the Cirno
This is a blue board fucking degenerate
What's the most practical solution for cold storage? Hard Drives? Blu-ray Drives? Tapes are the best solution, but SCSI cards alone are a few hundred dollars, not to mention sorting through the horseshit that is the second-hand tape and tape drive market.
And again I will remind them.

>weeb actually believe this
Optical media is your best bet, especially blu-ray. Just avoid anything labeled "LTH"

Is this an illustrative representation of narcissism?
Is that a Touhou?

Ice cold. That actually hurt my feelings
LTO for archive family
blu-ray m-discs seem to be the most practical for the average user with small amounts of data to back up.
pic related: standard bd-r vs m-disc bd-r
>"The M-Disc withstood the most extremes of outside weather without any data corruption.
It was unaffected with being half buried in ground soil.
It was unaffected by below freezing and above 80 degrees F. weather.
It was unaffected by hailstones, torrential rain, high winds, days of constant sunlight.
I don't know about 1000 years but I can verify this is a great medium for storing your
images and data on for archival purposes."
Do tape drives suffer from data rot?
LTO probably not unless exposed to sunlight but it's still prone to errors cause by dust. In the end it doesn't seem as practical for consumer use desu.
BTFO
Not if kept properly, but they are not really consumer level hardware
nice
Self-cest isn't narcissistic.
For medium amounts of data (< 1 TB) Blu-ray is the coldest of the cold. It avoids the problems of flash and spinning rust.
Well then, thread over
Not standard blu-ray discs though, those still rot a little like dvds.
tape if you have money to buy lto-5 or superior. Otherwise the next best solution intended for price/space is bluray.
>those still rot a little like dvds
Those are LTH discs. They're not your standard Blu-rays. The Blu-ray standard specifies that the discs are supposed to have an inorganic dye for the data layer so a standard Blu-ray should last way longer than a standard DVD. Some time in the late 2000's manufacturers whined about not being able to re-use the assembly lines meant for DVDs so the LTH standard was born. Organic dyes did work for DVDs but looking at the difference in data density, one could see why using this old technology on a new format is a terrible idea. Most LTH discs don't even last for a year.
