    Hard disk drives will last even less. The lubrication will dry up and the disk will seize way before the 25 year mark.

    That’s what you have redundancies and backups

      How long are SD and microSD cards expected to last? Asking because I have a dozen of them lying around

        I don’t have an exact time span but personally I wouldn’t trust them as anything more than temporary device storage, they randomly die often

        Cheap, low quality flash, poorer QC, etc
