  Jellyfin/Plex + Sonarr/Radarr + Usenet + HDDs/SSDs

  HDDs/SSDs are a form of physical recordable media with FAR more capacity and speed than any optical medium

    If there are no more discs to rip how will people get the movies and shows in the first place?

      For all their efforts in DRM, Netflix et al have thus far failed to prevent people from ripping their highest quality streams and torrenting them

      My setup has had 0 issues grabbing the latest “streaming only” content very quickly after release

        Having watched some of my favorites on Netflix, even with their 4K offering, the compression can kill a scene. Netflix has no incentive to provide the 0.1% of viewers who care a better quality stream, so they don’t.

    No, there was one next more “optical image” after Blue-rays. Archive Disc mainly used for backups in companies dealing with lots of images. Biggest one could take 2TB per disc, as much as tape drives. However, they didn’t get adoption and it has been discontinued. Sadly

      I mean it’s cool for a disc, but HDDs still beat that, Seagate just released a 36TB HDD to mass market, optical always lags behind on storage density and speed

        From wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archival_Disc

        Sony used Archival Disc in their Optical Disc Archive professional archival product range, and aimed to create at least a 6-TB storage medium. As of 2020, they offered 5.5 TB Optical Disc Archive Cartridges.[14][15][16]

        That limit I mentioned has nothing with the ‘technological limit’. Simply enough they lost with the adoption - if the clients wanted, they would get bigger archival discs.

  There is the Ultra HD Blu-ray. The problem is that not enough people are buying it.

  SD cards & microSD cards are still an option

    Sure, for storage. I’m more concerned about first party sources for high quality rips. The only thing left will be streaming rips, which just don’t compare on a proper display, especially once HDR gets involved.

    It’s like if they just stopped selling CDs and all you could find were YouTube rips anymore.

    Flash memory cells reset over time if not powered, often faster than disks rot.

  I wish there was an easy answer. However, I can’t think of one.
