What brand would you recommend for a blu-ray burner?
For long term storage of my several TB of "family photos and videos" of course.
Or any other way to do "cheap" long term storage without maintenance (burn and forget). I heard that hdd are not reliable for long term unmaintained storage like that so I thought some form of optical storage.
One that is capable of burning M-disks. They are available in sizes up to 100gb and are supposed to last a few hundred years. They can be read by most Blu-ray players made after 2011.

Of course, this is more suitable for genuine family photos and videos. For "family photos and videos" you could use any Blu-ray disk, but I doubt it's the cheapest way to store them.
When CDs were introduced they were touted as essentially eternal and damage proof. Id take M discs xlaim with a pinch of salt
