Blu-ray disc is actually the only storage unit that can last a lifetime currently. They have no organic material in them so don't breakdown as easily. 25-100 years depending on the disc compared to a HDD that doesn't last longer than 10 years.
The only downside is the cost of blank discs aren't that cheap because they aren't a common thing anymore.
