Beware that flash data lifetime is sensitive to temperature in the normal range people store stuff at. Store them in the roof space of your house that can exceed 40C each day and they might not last one year.
Definitely not a medium to passively store anything long term without power! Use Hard drives or Blu-ray instead.
- jmb99 7mo agoThe linked post currently has demonstrated that 6 years in some reasonable-ish condition is perfectly fine. > they might not last one year. > Definitely not a medium to passively store anything long term without power! Do you have any evidence to back up this claim? I'm much more interested in data than fear mongering.
