Hey guys, I just had a curiosity on the multiple ways of storaging stuff and how long would that hold, take backing it up to a newer storage after some years out of the table.

So how did this come in my mind, I was just reminiscing about how I used to play games with inserting a CD or Cartridge onto the device and how I miss that flavour.

I would like to do it again, I already like having my games dependancy free (praise mr goldmountain), and I am saving up some money to spend on hoarding possibilities. I would like to know what would have the longest storage life, would burning games into bluray discs be too unhinged or is something I am missing?

Thanks in advance in helping me out witht his brainstorm.

    get a nas for you primary storage… SSDs raided for that sweet redundancy. . replicate that to another identical, stand alone nas. replicated that to a cloud provider. problem solved. kinda pricey.

      SSDs need to be powered periodically to not lose bits to the cells losing trapped electrons. For offline storage HDDs are a better option.
