It's A Digital Disease!

Hi Y'all

I'm thinking of making a digital time capsule of media i grew up on in case it's unavailable for my expecting child. I know HDD's and SSD's both have disadvantages for long term storage (think literal time capsule, not accessed for the duration). Would a HDD be safer as the platters typically remain ok after long unpowered durations or is there a risk involved with this? I only plan on storing like 10TB of things and plan on it being in a dehydrated/weather proof container with other objects from this time.
