Comment on If I wanted to bury a hard drive for archival purposes (e.g. Country becoming Dictatorship), how to keep the contents from being damaged and where is the safest place to bury it?

  So, an atomic powered RAID array with SMART corruption correcting code attribute in a timed replacement sequence of a series of single platter, low RPM, drives?

  But apparently, using a simple archival quality DVD+R or Blu-ray.

  Apparently verbatim gold archive DVD+r has been rated for between 32 and 127 years with a minimum 18.

  Some Blu-ray from a few corps is rated at 50 years.

  Under ideal conditions.

  However, I’ll stick to my crystal skulls and their magic alien data storage.

      How much data do you need to store? 1.21 Gb?

    Ok but now how do we keep the Bluray drive and any additional materials to make it itself compatible with future hardware it’ll have to interact with, in working order for the same timespan as the media it reads?

    Archive level Blue-Rays sound interesting!

    But note that any drive based solution with RAID or anything runs into the problem that the drives all age at the same time. Once one drive fails, the others are close to failing also.
