How well do these work for long term storage?

I can't answer that as I use them only for travel. After several days some air may leak in but the clothes are still neatly folded.

I used them last summer (2014) on a long vacation. They did their job very well, better than the prior bags which zip-locked and then were "vacuumed" flat. These roll-up Space-Savers, surprisingly eliminated air thru one-way "valves" (a narrow unobtrusive, full-width panel at the bottom) and kept their vacuum-flat condition throughout my time in Hawai'i.

Not really. Once you've rolled them, they will slowly let in air over time. They're good for travelling because you're going to unpack with 12 to 20 hours (probably).

I've been using them for a good while which I think is long term and so far I haven't had any problems with them. But no they aren't air tight. To make them so I would cover them with plastic wrap before putting on the cover or just find an alternative container.

I have two of these drives and have had them for a minimum of 18 months. I have never had any problems with them. They work fine. They came with an AC power adapter as well as a USB cable.

Maine AV8R is right, these shouldn't be used for large storage option. I use them for hiking and kayaking trips in case something goes wrong and I need extra water. I also leave some in the car in case I break down or stranded by natural disaster like blizzard or floods. I've got a friend who keeps some on his boat.

I beleive the storage is up to 90 days (or up to a year with reduces charge) , however, please note, it is best to store these in a safe indoor environment, as extreme heat or Cold can damage, and or reduce battery life span and capacity. Thank you, BuysPro

I've had these around for a long time and never any problem. I've gone a year at a time and no problems.

They seem to last a long time. I'm working on a supply I received over a year ago. They are in a covered canister and seem to do fine.

They stack for storage. Stacking while using might work, but they are not designed for this.

Absolutely. These work to store various things in any room in the house. We own 9 of these.

I guess the question would be did you take less than 8GB worth of pictures. If this is the case then yes these drives would be good for that. I write on them with a sharpie but they do have a pretty good amount of room on the metal portion of the case that you could affix a label. They are not USB 3.0 so copy times might be slightly longer than some of the newer drives but I don't think that is really to much of an issue for most people.

They do last forever! It is way cheaper to buy them here... so as long as you have the room it is worth it. They will not go bad.

Like all DVD recordings, they should last indefinitely. I never had a problem with data on these disk.

I have had no problems, not close to max storage. I have one for each of my computers, a PC & a laptop.Not sure this helps but it's all I know to say

Ive used them 6 plus times and they still have lots of "life" left in them. As long as you dont loose the top they will last a long time.

In my house, not very long. I go through them pretty quickly. I would probably be comfortable storing them at least a year.

It will work correctly after the short shipping period. For long term storage like more than a week it should be below 32 degrees.

These are best for use on a regular basis rather than long term storage. They r expensive and very flimsy for mass storage you would need several. Also when storing in a ziplock you risk a temp change when removing the whol bag from the freezer for a few sticks. They also tend to freeze together. Hope that helps. I loved the playtex storage system.
