I'm not sure I would use SSD for long term "secure" storage, unless maybe using enterprise level ones. Consumer level SSD are, by specifics, guaranteed to retain data for 6 months if unpowered... any more time means being lucky. Would suck to save, store, and after some years find the data mangled...

I've heard that they have decent longevity, and, the "low" capacity ones are interchangeable with conventional DVDs. I can still put 20 100GB DVDs (2017 technology) on a 2TB 2.5" Thin SATA. However, I'm also looking for multi-terabyte storage. Are higher capacity DVDs on their way?

I still want one of the ones that Kieth Hensen designed.
