Use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parchive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parchive and add as much redundancy as you like. A lot cheaper to over-provision, than to create the uber-archive medium.
- sedatk 6y agoThat's a good idea regardless of the medium, but if your flash disk becomes completely unreadable in 15 years, PAR doesn't help you much, does it?
- phonon 6y agoThen don't use flash (or at least not MLC). Use an M-Disc with 3x PAR redundancy. Or RAID 1 enterprise magnetic HD with 3x PAR. Or all of the above :-) Are you trying to archive TBs or MBs? Likely the next most important consideration is a stable place for storage.
