The question is as simple as that really. Are bluray disks the cheapest storage medium per gb?

I am recording video which is using about 32gb per day. So a month of that would be almost 1Tb. A year around 12tb.

I want to store at last a years worth with the possibility of more if needed. To me it seems that cheap bluray disks world be the cheapest solution.

But I wanted to get this confirmed.
