Another interesting thread.

I would never consider anything that uses semiconductor technology for long 
term, archival storage.  Over 40 years ago I worked on an Intel research 
project looking at the effects of Alpha particles on memory cells.  Forty years 
later Alpha particles are much bigger relative to current architectures.  We 
used to measure in microns, now we are at or close to sub nanometer structures.
