Enterprise SSDs are certified to retain data without power for 3 months. That’s extremely conservative - but I wouldn’t push it to more than about two years.

Can’t imagine any perceivable value of my media for family members, even if they could figure out how to use it.
Since my desktop isn’t running Windows I’m not sure my sister could just start using it instead of my old rig I gave her.
How long do SSDs last in a time capsule?

You might be surprised how much attention family will put into your media, especially any pictures, movies, or audio that you created, when you’re gone. It’s a way to commune with their memory of you. My family still regularly trots out boxes of physical photographs of grandparents’ grandparents & homes no one has visited in 70 years.

There are tape drives that are certified to last for a very long time and are as easy as USB plug ins. Looks like a brick and is as heavy as one. Very low speed but you can pack a lot of data for a very long time in one.
