[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7098725, member: 54866"] Good luck trying to get data delivered to a solid state drive with any intention of saturating it to the point the drive is the physical limitation. DVDs degrading- if they are correctly stored and not abused the manufacturers state that they should have a reasonable 20-30 year lifespan, obviously pressed versions will outlive these easily. In any event they will be far safer than any solid state drive, I bet a mechanical disk drive has a similar life expectancy all things considered. If you want a mechanical hard drive designed for backups, Western digital do exactly this product, but you would need to check you buy the right kind of drive. Drives designed for backups (might be WD red?) are programmed differently to regular consumer drives in that they spend a lot of their time absolutely asleep and not moving/rotating the platters at all.
