Hard disk drives will last even less. The lubrication will dry up and the disk will seize way before the 25 year mark.

Bluray is a fine back up media, I use them for stuff on my NAS that I cannot lose like precious pictures of family and friends. Not all of us live on am abandoned salt mine with perfect temperature and humidity for long term tape storage.

That’s what you have redundancies and backups

  How long are SD and microSD cards expected to last? Asking because I have a dozen of them lying around

    I don’t have an exact time span but personally I wouldn’t trust them as anything more than temporary device storage, they randomly die often
