News SSD capacity could quadruple by 2029 — 8Tb NAND will bring big and affordable SSDs to the market

[Kamen Rider Blade]

Personally, I'd like to keep the data I store on a high-capacity ssd for all my life. I don't want to remove it and replace it with new data every day. So a few dozen write cycles, plus wear leveling, are more than enough for my use case.
I'm more concerned about offline retention. And QLC/PLC are bad for that too.

Sadly, if you want good Offline Data Retention, Blu-Ray is the better solution

Don't get LTH Organic Dye discs, those are the same trash dyes used in last gen DVD's

Only get the new Dyes that are synthetic

For long time retention, I would never trust ssd. Only hdd, with periodic (some years) rewrites (using 'badblocks -n', btrfs balance, or disks cloninig/switching) and a filesystem with integrity checking (btrfs, zfs, ...).

But for an external ssd, I would like to be able to forget it at the bottom of a drawer, or turn off an old computer for a long period, without be scaried about the integrity of their data when I rememer them some mounths or a couple of years later.

Optical disk isn't an option for me. I prefer hdd + rewrites.
