@apicultor @alterelefant @Heidi Well, Flash does retain data quite good.
Also OFC one should regularly examine and rotate backup media.
- If you want to go hardball, you'd choose to #archive on #microfilm and put those rolls in argon-filled aluminium barrels in a bunker, Like #Germany did for it's most significant history until 1990.
Granted, there are multiple options re: #backup and rarely does one need superfast fast, near-zero latency and extemely high capacity backups.
- OFC you get what you paid for and if you choose the cheapest SSD you can buy that isn't a #China #ScamDisk with manipulated TF cards in a RAID-0 enclosure, chances are stuff will work fine.
Proper handling and storage is key OFC but that also applies to #Tape.
