When HDDs fade away, what can we use for reliable storage? The endurance of SSDs has dropped from 100K cycles for SLC to 1K cycles for QLC. That makes an SSD essentially a consumable. Some say you should replace them every couple years. Meanwhile, I've got HDDs that are 10 years old and still going strong. Is there anything out there, or even on the horizon, that would be reliable long-term like HDD?
