30 years now in a more organized fashion, 40 years if you count disorganized.

Some of my older drives are no longer recognized by the drivers anymore.

I've had several drives completely fail, and one I dropped that never worked again.

I've used CDROMS, DVD-Rs, zip drives, and even cartridge tape for a while, but the hard drives work the best. I still have the cartridge tapes, but no way to read them anymore. Same with zip disks, can no longer read them.

why not using AWS and Google deep archive storage? seems cheap enough. Keep the data at home, then use cloud deep archive storage as backup. No?

I did use AWS for a while as a backup, but lost interest in it.
