[Meatloaf] C Components Storage Twenty percent of hard drives used for long-term music storage in the 90s have failed

Funny this subject came up…. I recently found a couple if these in an laptop case.   I no longer have the technology to read whatever is on these.   Must not have been too important as I didn’t have the sense to mark a note as to what it was.    All data is fleeting ….. and eventually just trash….
