I think we should stop considering flash as permanent storage. It is temporary storage that keeps working as long as given power.

I wish there was archival storage something long-lasting and large capacity. That would make a good complement to flash for writing backups and long-lasting data.

How much do you wish it? A modern LTO tape drive is 4000$ or so, plus tapes for 5$ per TB.
