what device to use - storage

[fgoh13]

hi,

i thinking of storing photos, documents in a "storage" device as a backup and can last for a long time without accessing it. Just keep adding new contents in it.

What device can i use? Not thinking of portable harddisk.

Thanks.

Network Access Storage

M-Disc is rated to last 1000 years.

According to Millenniata and the US Department of Defense, the M-Disc is incredibly resilient. 25 different discs, including the M-Disc, were exposed to 85C temperatures, 85% humidity, and bright, full-spectrum light for 24 hours. Where every other archival-quality recordable DVD failed the test with thousands of read errors and complete loss of data, the M-Disc passed with full data integrity and just a handful of errors.

You're just unlucky. Hdd fail is just like any other device. Luck based.

Some ppl use hdd until 10 years still running. Some like you, 1 year and rma

Buy a nas. Buy many HDD and raid.

Or a cheaper option will be cloud.

Tape library lor. Last longest.

Still need to maintain it. My NAS collected dust over time as well.

Cloud storage is virtually indestructible~

Until your cloud storage provider gets hacked and data leak across the net Not impossible for professional hackers. Not very indestructible.

Thanks.

If you want local storage, try the Samsung or Sandisk portable SSD

For example : SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD

just encrypt n upload to cloud like Backblaze or Wasabi

Cloud storage, since you mentioned minimal or no access for a "long" time, compress the files and encrypt them before uploading. Even if your files has illegal or very private content, no one can guess what's stored.

Other than that, archival quality media like Verbatim's M-disc. Still need to be stored properly, not throw in moldy closet and forget. Best in a 60% humidity air-tight container filled with argon gas, of course pack a backup reader device just in case.

Nothing last forever even with maintenance due to real world conditions, so every 5 or 10 years, refresh the archive...
