In that scenario, maybe SSD prices drop enough that spinning disk loses relevance.

- bayindirh 4mo agoI don't see that possibility from a data retention duration perspective. SSDs are glorified and addressable capacitors at the end of the day, and they leak.
- Dylan16807 4mo agoFor a backup drive that's plugged in at least every 2-3 months, an SSD is great if the price is right. For proper long term cold storage, you want tape. There's a niche in between where hard drives are good on their technical merits, but it's not a huge niche.
