LTO(4) tape shelf life estimation?
- by emilp
LTO tapes, Maxell in this case, are often marketed as having 30 years or more shelf life when stored under "optimal conditions"
Is there a way to get a good estimation to the shelf life, given parameters such as relative humidity and temperature etc?
Obsolescence of the tapes aside, is there a way of determining the impact to shelf life of any deviance from the optimal. In other words how many years are lost when storing say 1 degree above the specified range?
