We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

SSD prices are getting cheaper and cheaper. HDDs aren't. (alien.top)

this is actually bad news, because el cheapo ssds are not good for "unpowered" long time storage

expensive 1 bit per cell ssds maybe, but not multiple bits per cell (and those are the cheap types of ssds)

so for long time hoarders nothing really changes until hdd supply lasts, let's hope hdd supply will last for long years

1 bit per cell ssds

Are they even there on the market anymore? I couldn't find any in my country's dominant tech store chain, and there are barely any MLC drives (it's just Samsung SM883 up to 1TB and Dell 400 up to 480GB)
