@apicultor @alterelefant @Heidi Well, Flash does retain data quite good.

• This ain't #RAM like in some #Capcom #Arcade Boards like the #CPS2...

Also OFC one should regularly examine and rotate backup media.

• If you want to go hardball, you'd choose to #archive on #microfilm and put those rolls in argon-filled aluminium barrels in a bunker, Like #Germany did for it's most significant history until 1990.

Granted, there are multiple options re: #backup and rarely does one need superfast fast, near-zero latency and extemely high capacity backups.

• OFC you get what you paid for and if you choose the cheapest SSD you can buy that isn't a #China #ScamDisk with manipulated TF cards in a RAID-0 enclosure, chances are stuff will work fine.

Proper handling and storage is key OFC but that also applies to #Tape.
