I actually work in digital archival work, and this is true... Do NOT trust ANY technogy, you have to have a PROCESS for keeping data safe... Multiple copies, in different places, preferably using different technologies. RAID won't save you if your house burns down!
Obviously, lol. But yea, magnetic and electronic media don't cut it for long term storage. Optical media like BluRay is better, if the storage conditions are right, as I recall. Intel's project silica also looks promising.
Optical isn't better, unless it's magneto-optical which induces a phase change in the material itself - but even those drives had issues where static discharge would blast the media if the drive itself wasn't properly grounded... Bit rot is real.
