>Eventually your NAS hardware will be outdated and you'll have to get a new one and migrate your files over.
I know. The little watchdog process on the NAS sees that it's 10 years old, and locks it so it won't work anymore. So annoying.
Or do you mean that you will have so many movies and shows that you yearn for more storage? Because these two things aren't the same. The latter is "this is so good, I want more of it". It's like telling someone to subsist on pumpkin seeds and rainwater because if they eat anything more flavorful they'll become gluttonous.
>Nothing like just having a disc that can last 50+ years if properly stored.
There are no commercial disks that last that long, and no one can properly store them. Cold, dark, climate-controlled, pure nitrogen atmosphere? Give me a break. And how many can you even store?
I had a FreeNAS I bought around ~2010 and didn't use it for a couple of years at one point and when I went to use it again I could no longer update it, which meant I was on an ancient version of FreeBSD and none of the modern software ran on. So this literally happened to me already.
