after one (if stored at 30°C) to two (at 25°C) years in storage
>25-30°C
WHO THE FUCK DOES THIS?
Where do you live, a god damn desert?
Get some cooling turned on, fuck.
Better yet, put your SSDs in the fridge.
Buy a mini-cooler, problem solved.
Better yet, don't rely on archival at all. Keep shit fresh or get it to fuck.
I deleted 17 years of stuff and feel better for it.
All those memes lost, like shitposting in shit. Time to die.
25c is normal here in Texas, it's considered just right. Where the fuck do you live? Fucking Antarctica?

SSDs are not for backups, their purpose is to work with big data as fast as possible. And for 4k films, etc.
But how does EEPROM work?
jokes on you, i store all my company's mission critical data on 20TB of cpu cache i glued together
Can we instead just derail this thread into some kind of discussion on the best way(s) to archive data for long-term purposes?
I don't know much, but firmware/software side:
* RAID / maybe some zfs principals?
* Par2 archives
* checksums
On the hardware side, what's best? What will survive a nuclear disaster / fallout?
Brazilian reporting in. I live in Rio and it's not uncommon for our thermometers to go above 40°C. Also
>implying cooling helps
>not opening your apartment window and get blasted by aircon exhausts everywhere
Tape. Just don't bring them here and you'll be fine.
I think flash memory technologies work more or less the same way they're just addressed differently.
Mask ROMs are very safe but it can be corrupted by radiation.
PROMs can be zero'd (or one'd) which would render them completely unreadable but otherwise they're nearly as resilient as mask ROMs.
EPROMs can be corrupted by radiation especially UV radiation but also by electrons escaping.
EEPROMS can be corrupted by electrons escaping.
Tape is considered the best for long term archival, magnetic tape can retain data practically indefinitely even offline and the media is inexpensive and has a huge capacity and very good read/write speeds (in sequence). Hard disks are acceptable for low end archival purposes, they can hold data for a very long time offline, the only real problem is the data and drive are one piece so if the drive fails the data usually has to be sent to a specialist to be recovered.
