I had a question, from what I understand of traditional spindle hard drives is that when one fails it's due to wear and tear. Does anyone have any information on how long stored data will keep on a modern day hard disk drive, but unplugged and kept only for backup purposes?
Has there been any testing on degradation of the mechanisms inside an HD over a time where it's not subject to heat or is operational?
Thanks
