Okay, I've had it with juggling "cheap" external hard drives, and after having one go down on me, a second with fan malfunction right out of the box, and so on and so on, I'm going to make the plunge for a hard drive array.
I have the option of installing a blu-ray reader/writer in one of the bays (I'll probably go for a Raid 1 and a JBOD in the other 3). Seems like a good option for archiving, though the initial cost is high and the Delkin 200 year discs are running around $25 each. But I like the idea of burning and then sticking away in a fire proof chest.
So any thoughts on this medium? Will it be around 100 years from now let alone 10? Anyone else using this or considering?
