    Buy an old PC and setup a NAS with RAID redundancy.

    Who the fuck uses thumb drives for anything important.

    Have you considered something like a solid state drive made by a reputable manufacturer? I have a couple 1tb HDDs that are at least a decade old and still going strong.

      Unless the data is backed up on a second source, it’s only a matter of time before it’s gone.
