I'm not exactly certain what the question is. But if you are asking whether you need to replace the hard-drive then most likely yes. Like all flash drives, the half-life is 4-6 years. Spinning disk drives are only slightly better. 

Most reliable long term storage medium is paper. I use a2ps for archival, can also use pdfbook2 for booklets, or pdfjam if you need to archive images as well.

I usually aim for a density of 20-24 pages per single sided 8.5x11" sheet.

But it will only have a single nvme drive. Is error detection worthwhile on a single drive? What do you think?_______________________________________________ Group mailing list Group at bglug.ca http://bglug.ca/mailman/listinfo/group_bglug.ca
