I know there have been many posts about how long already written data will last on a drive, but what I’m curious about is if I preemptively buy several storage devices and just set them aside until I want to migrate onto them the data I currently have on other drives, is there any risk of some sort of degradation of the unused drives themselves, assuming I keep them in a normal environment?
