I've started printing all of my really important files.

Can you print 4TB of anime?

>>58755623
paper gets yellow and crumbles, like dirty underwear.
why is nothing eternal.

>>58755647
Depends on the font size

>>58755647
you can print anything with enough ink and paper

>>58755662
The Domesday Book, written over 900 years ago, is still readable. I print on archival quality cotton paper.

Why do loosers hate SSDs?

>>58755540
BluRay M-Discs
The only flaw is their physical size (a TB worth of them will take up twice as much room as an HDD), and reading speed. You can get archival grade BluRay for less than M-Discs if money is the problem, but they "only" last up to 100 years. To be fair, optical media is advertised to last 4 years and all of my 10+ yo CDs and DVDs work. They'll be fine if you take care of them properly.

>>58755540
USB Flash Drives

Perfect shit for archiving.

>>58755737
They can't afford it on their autismbux

>>58755737
they need to loosen up a bit.

>>58755540
>casettes are too small

Professional archiving magnetic storage has TB capacity.

>>58755888
The machines are as expensive as hell, though.

Has anyone here actually given M-Discs a try? How are they?

cassettes are slow, not small
cassettes are also not reliable by themselves

cassette systems work because it's the most inexpensive solution to making TONS of redundant backups, in case anything goes wrong with one tape
tapes are routinely rewritten and discarded to make sure there will always be a working copy

you want long term? etch it

>>58755540
SSDs will probably outlive you.
Just wait for the DNA meme to flow, maybe then will we have good archival storage. For fast storage just wait for ZNAND and Optane SSDs.

The one way around this is to create a slave species just for information storage, and I'm not willing to do that.

>has anyone here lived for over a 1000 years to confirm M-Discs work as advertised
Lel. I can tell you I have a 3 year old DVD one and it werks. It's basically a DVD. It's way too early to say if it's good or not, but the tests they've done on them sound promising.
Just remember that archival grade discs also exist, they're a bit cheaper and will last at least 25 years. By that time we'll have another revolutionary archival storage option.

>>58757332
>what is bitrot
One or two mutations, and you're done.

>>58757443
Which is why you use some massive redundancy. 1g of DNA can hold almost 1ZB of data

>ssds are durable

>>58757553
Why are you throwing your ssd at the ground mate?

>>58757638
SSDs will lose data if not powered on every once in a while. Not really what OP is looking for.

lmao is this pleb central or what
too poor anons? enjoy your shit tier storage

>>58758355
Why do the people here never talk about these? I see them everywhere in enterprise. They're speed is pretty competitive with an SSD too.

>>58760027
Only with sequential access though

>>58757499
Yeah I bet the read speeds are terrific at 200 bytes/second on a good day

>>58760027
and specific storage requirements to prevent degredation.

>>58755827
They can last decades if they've gone through one or two erase cycles
Same for other flash nand like SD cards

>>58762528
So why aren't SD cards recommended for backups? At least for those who don't need more than 32GB of data backed up.

>>58762723
Where have you been? Even microSD cards are available at up to 256GB

>>58762723
Quality control, hit or miss with actually writing what you want outside of small bits at a time, fat file system.

>>58755575
This, bought a few of this a while back along with a LG M-disc drive.

>>58755662

Just reprint it. I always reprint myself when I feel like I'm getting old.

>>58757332
DNA has a half life of 500 years you mongoloid. To last even 1000 years you need around 75% of the storage dedicated to redundancy.

>>58762384
Just defrag your DNA. I always do it when I'm taking a shower.

>>58762858
So sorry for not being a fucking biologist.

>>58757443

How is bit rot prevented in more traditional storage media like HDDs or SSDs?

>>58757332

>Encode your data into dna
>millions of years later your cute girls have become feminists and the men data is all gay

DNA storage was a mistake

>>58757741
powered off hard drives will hardly suffer mechanical failure if stored properly
