I have a few extra blu ray drives sitting in a Rubbermaid bin because I have lots of stuff archived on archival m disc blu rays. will they degrade over time/do they have any sort of shelf life? if i power them up in 20 years will they still work? I use wh14ns40 and wh16ns40 drives. and I have lots of sata to usb adapters with the 12v power so if sata goes away i can still use them. does anyone here have any original cd/dvd drives from the 90s that still work? I also have an asus and pioneer external/slim drive.
