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.
eh, i didnt mention any offline hardware
but now that you mention it, i have a ‘bug out’ bag with 12 spinning rust drives with an old backup in case i need to leave the house in a hurry… but i admittedly rarely update it
just easier to grab the nas nowadays…
what i mean bv ‘stand alone nas’ is that is should should receive the same data, but not be dependent on any upstream device to re-serve that data
Sorry if my comment came over as criticising your approach, I just wanted to add that information if someone wanted to use it. What I wanted to say is: if you have a NAS, you need to have reliable cold storage which is not SSDs.
12 drives in the go bag seems a bit much, as I don’t think the weight to usefulness ratio would be great if you really needed to leave the house in an emergency.
