I would heavily suggest not doing this. HDDs are significantly more reliable than flash storage when it comes to long-term, power-off data retention. Period. There’s a relatively little-known fact about SSDs and flash storage where they aren’t actually rated to sit around with data on them for all that long. The voltages stored inside of them degrade and the data is slowly lost over time if they aren’t powered on. The enterprise SSDs that I work on are rated for 3 months - as in, set it on a shelf for three months, and after that, if you don’t power it on, it isn’t guaranteed that all of your data will still be there. And this is talking about ultra-redundant, enterprise SAS SSDs. MicroSDs don’t have any of that redundancy. (And yes - this implies that setting a bunch of important flash drives in a safe for ten years is not a great idea. That is true! It’s unlikely that you will experience data loss, but it’s more likely than with an HDD)
Just back them up in multiple places. I’d suggest Backblaze for offsite storage; I use it to back up my important data.
~$2500USD/ea, for anyone else as curious as me
Out of curiosity, what’s wrong with medium? (Serious question)
@[email protected] - are these available somewhere as full res pictures already? And/or will they be after the desktop is chosen? Or will only the chosen one be available?
Must be part of Reddit’s new rebrand
Although if y’all sold a stuffed animal of whatever adorable thing is in the middle right picture, I’d buy it in a heartbeat
Top left gives me amazing vibes
Awww I knew there was a catch! Of course you’re overseas ;-; sad American noises
Redwoods are so freakin’ cool.
That is all!
The Crucial option is good because of more upgrade ability in the future. But - here’s another idea, that’s right around $100 but will be even smaller & more portable: Drive like this one: https://a.co/d/2dnQ1w1 With an adapter like this one: https://a.co/d/eiYVTvu
That said, I think your crucial SSD+enclosure would work just fine. I’ve got one of the m.2 adapters above and it’s a handy little thing so I know that works, too.
Just note that if you 3D print something, if you use the wrong material, there’s a chance it may melt.
