frezik , 2 days ago I wouldn't trust it that way, no. They might last decades. They also might not. It's a gamble on any single drive, or even a few mirrored drives. File system also matters. Modern ZFS has error checking that can handle some level of bit rot. Older formats generally don't. If it's over 7 years or so, I want to get the data off of there.
