Depends on how much writing you are doing. I think that if you're doing tons of writes all the time, HDD might edge out SSD, but it all depends on a lot.

Floppies were an entirely different beast. Instead of a disk failing every few years, a floppy disk that hadn't been used in a few months, in my experience, was about 50/50 if it was bad or corrupted in some way.
