Digital BW, The Print

This is not a problem. Even if you don't add to the archive, you should
regularly copy it to ensure integrity. This is the great advantage of
digital storage. Try regularly reproducing 20000 negatives

   Unfortunately, HDs aren't simply mechanical devices; they may well
still spin in a century (or not - lube gunks up), but it's very
unlikely their magnetic content will be intact. Just way too many ways
ANY/ALL magnetic records go bad. Don't count on magnetic storage
except short term (and if it really matters, pretty damn short). YMMNotV.
