Agreed.

This data retention issue does however bring an element of frustration to the testing. Is a year unreasonable? How much of an impact does that requirement have on how the MWI is calculated? At what point should you stop writing and for how long should you then wait?

On one hand a year sounds way to long, but on the other hand I’ve got loads of HDD’s that have been sitting around for years with data backups on them. I’d be pretty hacked if I plugged one of them in to find out it had lost the data. Guess HDD’s will be around for a bit yet, even if they end up only being used for archives.
