I currently just keep an old fashioned spinning hard drive (two, if I'm counting) in my safe deposit box, but storage has changed a lot in the last decade. What's the current wisdom for long-term (stable) data storage?


  • Not stored on other peoples computers (The Cloud).

  • Roughly a terabyte.

  • Can be stored in a climate controlled box for a decade without power and still be expected to mount when plugged in.

  • Will be accessible by whatever computer and OS I have in a decade.

  • Is a couple hundred USD at most. (I'll likely buy more than one for redundancy.)


It does NOT need to be particularly fast, but faster than searching through a stack of CDRs.
