I’m looking for a trustful method for offline (external) storage. I used to save stuff in 4 GB DVDs because they are cheap, although have very small storage limit for nowadays standards.
If I go for external HDDs, I’ll probably have to buy a NAS or something, so I’m considering go for DVDs again. Are they considered reasonably trustful?
Any suggestions, considering I’m look for a not very expensive solution?

If i remember correctly HDDs have a lifespan of about 50 years, while SSDs only 10. So I’d suggest you to buy an HDD
If you all you care about is TB/$ you still cannot beat tape as long as you are using enough tapes.
It really depends how much you are talking about
Traditional internal HDDs are the most reliable, on top of being cheap, you can put them in USB external boxes and use them only when you need to do backups.
A NAS is overkill if you don’t have tons of data.
