SSDs are not recommended as long term/critical storage, they're much too prone to damage by random radiation and failure without warning. Magnetic drives are still the best option that we have for long term data storage. 3 copies, one off-site, cycled through regular backups as data changes, with full backups of all 3 whenever major changes happen. (That's how (in theory...) I manage my photography, for what reason I know not.) Failing that, a paid cloud storage set up with a company that you trust to protect your data from loss and that won't sell your details to random (good luck with that...). Whichever option you choose, there will always be a need for some manual intervention by you, from the initial backup, to intermediate refreshes to migrating data to new devices when the time comes. Let's not even talk about file formats... I Installed Samsung SSDs (a 1.5tb and 2tb) into my laptop, for the low power consumption and their inherent impact resistance. They're excellent, but I won't rely on them for long term storage. As for fake memory cards (and SSDs are just memory cards writ large) this may be an interesting read. While a bit old, I do not imagine that the situation has changed for the better. https://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?page_id=1022 Read the article and also have a browse through the comments.

A couple of reasonably priced kits from a visit to a model show last weekend - Eduard's 48th Tempest (or possibly Typhoon, I cannot now quite remember) and also their L-39C Albatros, in the Evolution boxing - I'm a sucker for bling, and a large golden dragon is certainly bling! All I gotta do now is find time to build 'em...

How about cars that were less than stellar? There's quite a few civil and racing versions that would be eligible, I'm sure.
