If you save something to a USB stick, how long does it take until it is automatically deleted?
And what about SD cards, CDs and HDD hard drives?

Loading...Good day, I bought a new power supply and installed it. It's an Asus Tuf Gaming 750W Bronze. And the power supply fan isn't spinning. Is this because it automatically starts spinning when it gets too hot, or what is it?
Hi, I ordered an iPhone 12 from Swappie (used but like new) and am currently setting it up. I used the "Transfer to iOS" app because I currently have a Huawei phone. The transfer process (2.5 hours 🥲) aborted several times because either my phone was running low on battery or my Android was overheating,…
If you have little internal storage, is it recommended to install games on an external SSD with 120mb/s read speed and USB 3.0?
Hello, I wanted to download something like the one shown in one of the images, and I've set it to save new data etc. to volume E:, but it's not happening. Can anyone help me?
Hello, I am confused: The description says: 75Hz refresh rate and Adaptive-Sync technology (48~75Hz). However, the technical specifications state "Maximum refresh rate: 60 Hz." Can the monitor run at 60Hz or 75Hz? https://webshop.asus.com/de/Monitore/ASUS-ProArt-PA279VC-68-58-cm-27-inch-Professional-Monitor/90LM06M1-B01170
My experience:
On a USB stick I found ZIP archives, images and text files from 2001 in perfect condition.
Also my uraltes external hard drives run unproblematic.
That’s right. But after a while, something’s gonna break up, which prevents you from getting back to the data.
With an SSD and with Sticks/SD you have the problem that even only the electronics of the control can break and you can no longer get to the data even if the actual memory is completely intact.
Sticks and SD cards have no “wear leveling”. Flash memory can often be read “infinitely” but only a million (or less) are often described. Describe, more precisely, delete before describing is what causes damage. The first flash memories were broken after not even 100x describe! Nowadays, 100,000x to million times are common.
Every time you do something with a file in a directory, the directory will be overwritten at least 2x. This happens when creating, deleting and changing a file. If this happens too often, the file system is broken in place. The files are still completely intact, but the computer no longer finds them as the folder where the data are located is no longer readable. With special programs you can find and read the data.
How long a memory lasts before it breaks, it depends on how good or “cheap” the one is made, how it is stored and what exactly it is.
by manufacturing error or poor material or “Falsifications” can be that the memory is already delivered broken, when the first breaks down or a while later.
In the case of magnetic tapes, CD/DVD/Bluray, you have no electronics that can fail. Here the data is significantly safer.
They say that burned CD/DVD/Bluray lasts 10 years. But the warmer you store them, the faster they break. Normal CD/DVD/Bluray do not use any light. The data are written by bleaching an organic dye by laser light. Normal sunlight can also, just much slower.
On the other hand, there is the M-Disc. It is based on a mineral layer in which with an extra strong laser the data are really burnt pure and not only bleached. Then the data are virtually “cut in stone” and are supposed to last 1000 years, therefore the name M(illenium)-Disc. This will not hold the plastic, but you can assume that if you burn at least 2 sets, at least one could consider the rest of your life.
To describe you need a special burner, can be read in any normal drive.
There’s nothing wrong. If you now store something on an external disk, keep it safe and protected from light and never catch it again, then it’s just the life of the hardware.
Life of such devices can be viewed on the Internet. Don’t know this from my head and don’t want to do my job to look for it.
Wrong answer.
I wouldn’t say. She hardly differs from yours.
comes on the stick. When the sticks had only a few MB of memory, they were theoretically durable forever. The inventor wanted to build something that survives a plane crash in the middle of the Atlantic, even if the stick can only be recovered after decades.
Ah okay so are USB sticks with little memory more durable or?
10 years.
It’s not automatically extinguishing. The media are only old and brittle. It’s like CDs.
Just like that.
