       @jonathan @cstross Public Service info from the volunteer chief archivist at datamuseum.dk:NEVER use flash-based storage for archival purposes.Not CF, not SD, not USB-sticks, not SSD, not NVME, nor any other flash-technology based storage media.Flash is simply not a stable storage mechanism: Just like Dynamic RAM it will eventually forget your bits.Unfortunately there are no good choices for long term data storage,  but flash is a particular bad choice.
