    You should be more worried about accessing that data in 20 years, not if that data is there since SATA like IDE is being replaced as a standard.

  • @Ramhound there still exist PCs with and adapters for ports which were introduced and in use two decades ago so... not a major concern.

  • @rahuldottech - I cannot find a single motherboard, released in the last 5 years, that directly support an IDE drive. Likewise, M.2 is well on its way to replace SATA.
