    Jokes on you, I still burn my acquired digital media to BluRay discs

    Disk rot is like 25 years while an SSD still doesn’t have that kind of shelf life

      Who are these mad men who are dumping stuff to SSDs and then sitting them on a shelf? Can’t get my mind around it.

        You’d be surprised. And then they tell me disk rot makes BD not recommended… meanwhile this happens after several decades and is exceedingly rare

      Doesn’t it make more sense use harddisks?

      I mean, the ultimate long terms storage medium seems to be tape, but that stuff is very expensive, but outside that harddisks seem to have the best balance of accessibility and shelf life.
