>Find an ancient SD card that was left unpowered for over 15 years>Still works>Still has every last bit of data on it, just like a decade and a half agoIs the whole "muh flash memory doesn't retain any data if left unpowered for a year+!" thing a retarded meme perpetuated by the spinning rust industry that we allowed ourselves to fall for? I get that it's an anecdotal sample size of one, but then again, all of my spinning rust HDDs failed after less than 10 years of use (also anecdotal, but makes me think).Kingston micro SD card btw.
>>107693006It's most likely SLC or TLC, they're much more robust than the crap you have today.

Yeah same I found some SD cards last used in 2008 in a drawerTotally fine
>>107693006>"muh flash memory doesn't retain any data if left unpowered for a year+!"I'm pretty sure that if you buy a new SD card today and you leave it unpowered for like 6 months all the filles will be completely corrupted. Treasure your SD because the shit you can buy now is absolutely worthless.
