Hey guys, I want to hear your take on an idea ive had for a while now and how feasible it is.

So, since many of old movies are starting to disappear and edited as we become more and more dependent on streaming services, I want to create a large library with hundreds of movies that I have seen and love over the years. My idea is that I want to be able to sit in front of my tv with my future kids in 30 years and watch Dr. No in the original version.

Now, in my mind, this would require multiple external hard drives and a lot of downloading. i got the downloading part, and its not an issue.

My question is: is this idea feasible? Would it be possible to maintain modern hard drives for a longer period of time without them breaking randomly? And what specific kind of hard drives would you recommend?
