PSA: Backup your important files

[HoneyBadger]

Backup to spinning disk. SSDs can start loosing data very quickly if they are not powered on.

That's interesting. I wonder if that applies to SD cards the same way? I have several 32 and 64GB SD cards that I use for storage and backups. For example, once a year, I put about 200 pictures along with all of our important paperwork on an SD card and give it to my parents for safe keeping (for insurance recovery purposes). Should I be concerned?

Of course, that whole article was based on a presentation given by major HDD manufacturer, Seagate. Of course they want you to believe that their competition is the devil.
