Once all the media is copied to electronic, it is dirt cheap to migrate.
Plug a second $100 drive in, and copy everything from first to second.
Ok, if you want a fancy one? you can spend $150 or $200, if you want.
That will buy you 3-4 TB external storage.

USB will be around quite a while - when it is replaced with something 
new, you just have to make sure one machine has both ports - or the new 
one can talk to the old one on your home network.
