    I can confirm jellyfin is great… But I have moved onto burning onto physical Media (BD) to avoid HDD / SSD failure with data loss

      Optical disks rot even in perfect storage conditions. There’s no failure proof storage solution easily available.

        Yeah disc rot is a problem… But luckily it’s A LOT longer (50-100 years)

        This is compared to HDD (6 years) and SSD (10 years)

      Why not both? BD for backup, Jellyfin for convenience.

        I have both currently but it’s an HDD so it won’t last forever

          That’s what RAID is for. When a disk fails, hopefully you’re fast enough with the replacement so the array never fails.
