QLC for long-term storage ?
(alien.top)
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
As it was mentioned, it not enough experience and info about those drives as a long-term storage. Also, if you want to keep your data as long as possible, you should consider having several copies of the data. So, even if the drive/array failure occurs you are still good by restoring the data from another copy.
