We have so many of these discussions on HN already. Buy vs Rent. Digital vs Physical Ownership, Privacy etc. Yes we all have an opinion on that.
I am more interested in a physical media that can keep its data for 80+ years, 500GB+, half the size of credit card and cheap to manufacture.
At the moment, and looking at the pipeline of tech. There are none.
Why so extreme constraints? Why does it have to be half the size of credit card? I a personal server with 64tb space (5x16tb hard drives in a raid5) for movies etc. Been running for 4 years no issue, and I hope to run it for another 50-60 years with occasional disk replacement.
I am not looking a NAS replacement or NAS storage of my digital files. I am looking for replacement of Blu-Ray.
Why so extreme constraints?
Because he's not looking for a solution. He's looking for someone to argue with.
Not exactly sure what point you are trying to get across.
