Magnetic storage data integrity will outlast charge coupled storage data integrity, unless de-magnetized from an external source.
Then, How LONG does one plan on using a particular storage method?
Ten years? A hundred years?
I'll take an HHD.
Don't know Hoyle.
"SSDs can be expected to last as long or longer than HDDs in most general applications." Backblaze

Relying on any storage over 5 years would be a mistake.
Ten years - flip a coin.
Hundred years, perhaps use M-DISC.
