So I need to store video clips that I have for personal reasons. I currently am storing them on a Hard Drive. Now I want to be able to view these for years, maybe even decades. My main idea was a Hard drive. I know I would need to Format the drive and put everything back on it every like 2 years and such. Later on I would also move the files from Drive to Drive as well, such as moving it to a SSD for example down the road, and to what ever is new after that. What I really need to know is what Hard drive for right now is a good option? I want it to be around 500 GB and less. I will store the videos on different hard drives as I need so if anything was to happen to one drive, not everything would be lost. Also for bonus questions... I know file types will come and go, but do you think .wmv will be around much longer and should I compress my videos with Winrar, or will I not be able to access them without it?
