I'm relying on copying the stuff I want to keep (scanned and digital photots, mostly) to two different hard disks, and moving it to newer disks as I replace computers. I have thought about flask drives for higher value stuff, like weddings, etc. I haven't read anything about the expected long term life of them, just the limited number of writes, which isn't an issue when you're using it to archive video and images.
