alt Hacker NewsWe have so many of these discussions on HN already. Buy vs Rent. Digital vs Physical Ownership, Privacy etc. Yes we all have an opinion on that.
I am more interested in a physical media that can keep its data for 80+ years, 500GB+, half the size of credit card and cheap to manufacture.
At the moment, and looking at the pipeline of tech. There are none.
Why so extreme constraints? Why does it have to be half the size of credit card? I a personal server with 64tb space (5x16tb hard drives in a raid5) for movies etc. Been running for 4 years no issue, and I hope to run it for another 50-60 years with occasional disk replacement.
