The cost of storage is lower for hard drives than BD-R, but adding data 
to a SSD and putting it in the closet is a bad idea, since the data 
isn't stable on it.

So you have to set it up in a NAS, which will increase the cost and 
complexity and add to the overall power consumption.

BD-rs on the other hand I can just put on the shelf and not have to 
think about again.
