What’s a good medium for hoarding data. Other than tape. Normally I use 2tb hdds but I am hesitant to Smr hdds now after needing the data recovered and how difficult its being. Would CMR be better? Flash Storage? Glitch or accidental formatting would remove any hope of recovering of a SSD. Don’t need it for Casual Use just An easy way to store it with little risk to data loss and easy to recover if it does.
In terms of actual use and access, CMR is much better. Flash would be better yet. Higher capacity hard drives are the most economically efficient option.
Mind if recoverability is a priority you’ll have to avoid Helium drives. Also backups >>>> recoverability.
