It's A Digital Disease!

I have about 250 GB of family photos and videos on a couple SSD's (Crucial BX500) and want to put them on HDD and maybe a disc format as the actual backups to end up with:

Master backup: Disc / HDD

Cloud: tbd

Master: HDD

Master Copy 1, 2 and 3: HDD

Transfer Drive: ssd

Not sure if an HDD is good enough as a long term storage master backup. HDD for the master drive for sure, and I just need an external HDD drive for my parents and myself.

Open to suggestions on the HDD brand / types and maybe a disc format I can store these on. I plan on sending one hdd via mail and the other hdd to deliver via airplane carryon since some family lives out of the country.
