I’m a fan of optical storage and its durability (with reasonable care.)
But the problem is when you need to recover and have 20 Blu-ray Discs with important data scattered about, it takes days.
Or when there is a specific piece of data you want/need and only have a vague idea of where it is/was in history. Maybe if those ultra capacity discs took hold but it looks like the era of optical is ending
- pjmlp 1y agoSame applies to NAS, how many hours have you spent clicking around shared folders on company NAS / cloud storage, to track down where a specific set of files are actually located? Search isn't helpful if the stuff wasn't properly indexed.
- procaryote 1y agorgrep is easier on a nas though
- vunderba 1y agoSure, but clicking through a folder set on a single managed volume is orders of magnitude easier than rooting through a hundred blue ray DVDs, popping each one into your optical reader in the hopes that it is the correct one, and then having to search within that volume.
