Something tells me the market for media servers is very different than the market for BD-R. The only benefit to having a collection of burned discs over a NAS is that you can let people borrow them. It's otherwise mostly downsides

If you have a Nas... install plex or jellyfin and you can still let them "borrow" it all the same...

Far from a "downside".

If you have a NAS you might know you should have a backup on different media.

If they were cheaper I'd use them for archival purposes. They work well as cold storage.
