M-DISC. It's more expensive by size but for (private I'm assuming) pictures it doesn't make a difference.

TBH i've never heard about it before. And I even have a drive that records it! Thank you!!!!

However what I've been thinking before you wrote about M-DISC - was making a set of HDD that I'd dump my photos and videos and rewrite each year for example, i.e. copy from one drive to another. This copying 4TB of data should be enough to store them for a few years.

I'm mostly concerned with family photos and videos, and maybe music, but I tend to buy CDs of the most important music for me. I'd say that other data would be expendible...

You’ll want to protect yourself against bit rot too. Don’t go copying bad files every year.
