Who are we?

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). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Nah there are still use cases where longevity is most important. You can’t set an SSD in a closet for 20 years and expect to still have your data. HDDs also have longer active life expectancies AIUI.

Totally, there’s still a use for tape and optical, too. But SSD will be the dominant media soon.
