    Hard disk drives will last even less. The lubrication will dry up and the disk will seize way before the 25 year mark.

    Bluray is a fine back up media, I use them for stuff on my NAS that I cannot lose like precious pictures of family and friends. Not all of us live on am abandoned salt mine with perfect temperature and humidity for long term tape storage.
