I would also store a controller, and a compatible drive and possibly an entire system, since in 20 years the hardware may not work on any system.<br />

I hope this helps !<br />

Whats the best option for storing information for a long time?  Im talking 10 - 20 years.  Is there a media that can handle the time span?

long time storage of data

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
