I'm interested, but will OP deliver? Not sure I want to get my hopes up just yet :(

Related, I was wondering how I'm going to learn of the results of the submitted article. Calendar reminder with a link to the blog perhaps? Putting my email address somewhere would be much preferred for me tbh but I didn't see any sign-up form.

I had a Q6600 machine with some boot ssd, unplugged for years. Maybe a crucial vertex 4 128GB? Started right up like nothing happened.

    I’ve had some similarly old hardware that didn’t boot and a desktop that had been powered off over an holiday. Both had corrupt data but on the second one it was in a file crucial for windows to boot so I had to repair it. Data corruption can occur without notice.

      And it's all pretty anecdotal with one digit sample sizes.

      I don't think this can really be answered unless we get something like the reliability report from blackblaze. Still, i hope I'll read about the final result of the article in a few years.
