minus-square@qjkxbmwvz@startrek.websitelinkfedilink22•10 months agoI would be surprised if you couldn’t get 8KB for 200 years out of standard flash simply by extreme duplication — 8GB/8KB means a million copies on one (very small by today’s standards!) drive. Or is the failure mechanism something other than bitrot?
