I was trying to explain that the volatility of a 20+ year old hdd and hardware is very high. If there is important data to you, you may want to get it to a device that is not so volatile. Also it’s not like I made any of this up, I have a decade of it experience including plenty of data recovery. It’s how I know that the “no storage lasts beyond 2-3 years” statement is blatantly false.
