- Year 0 – I filled 10 32-GB Kingston flash drives with random data.
- Year 1 – Tested drive 1, zero bit rot. Re-wrote drive 1 with the same data.
- Year 2 – Tested drive 2, zero bit rot. Re-tested drive 1, zero bit rot. Re-wrote drives 1-2 with the same data.
- Year 3 – Tested drive 3, zero bit rot. Re-tested drives 1-2, zero bit rot. Re-wrote drives 1-3 with the same data.
This year they were stored in a box on my shelf.
Will report back in 1 more year when I test the fourth 🙂
