with last report SSD report from google and SSD data retention (based:The Truth About SSD Data Retention)
i wont move all data to SSD just yet...
for me, it will be still few years with mixing SSD+HDD combination before to all SSD... and for cold storage/archival purpose will still using HDD (like NAS box)
also in failure, HDD have better recovery chance compared to SSD... if not cheaper (SSD recovery price is like 2~3x HDD )
for common hdd board failure can simply replacing the board with same batch
i think hdd even not air-tight, but designed to not let dust pilling up inside...
if u ever open old hdd, u should find the inner stay clean usually
for humidity, using air conditioner should solve the problem,
also except u living in really humid area, i dont think it will cause shorter usage life
inside PC-case usually warm, and with the fan flowing the air, it will remove excess moisture most of time
