which is more botnet?

An HDD will eventually fail due to mechanical factors, but the platter itself will hold data indefinitely.

SSD's can fail due to controller issues, but not as common now. SSDs, unlike magnetic storage like HDDs, utilize trapped electrons to store data. These electrons want to escape, and eventually the will by wearing down the gate, corrupting data.

You can pick up a HDD out of storage 50 years from now, and the data will still be readable. A SSD will not since the electrons have leaked out like a battery loses charge over time.

Which one would be easier for forensics teams to recover data from?

>>52060577
An actual answer. You impress me, /g/

Pencil and paper.

He asked what was more secure, not most reliable.

>>52060485
It's not where you store it, it's how you store it. i.e. encryption.
Neither of those would prevent you data from being recovered.

Don't you mean which one burns faster from thermite?!
Which one microwaves faster????
Which one gets fried faster?
Which one gets wiped faster?

>>52060742
HDD naturally.
>>
>>52060485
HDD is more secure because it is more likely to break when transported
>>
>>52061859
Wrong, the cover of a HDD is harder than SSD's thin plastic, HDD's can withstand relative heavy impacts.
Otherwise indeed the SSD would be rougher.

>>52060742
SSD is likely simpler (can just do NAND dump), but its also easier to securely destroy if you get fucko'd.
