A lot of mine from the late 90s/early 2000s are now in pretty bad shape. They are either scratched, or delaminating from the plastic disc. It was also cool to re-visit some music I hadn't thought about for 10-15 years. I had a lot of ideas back then, and a lot of time too...

I kept an old (2001 maybe) CD drive from a PC. Its the only drive that would read a lot of my old back up CD's. Bit odd, but saved me losing a lot of stuff.

Never used DAT. Moved (eventually) from various 1" or 2" R2R straight to PC HDD.

Everything now is continuously backed up to other HDD's/DVD's/Clouds

Realistically theres not much i would run into a burning house to save, but its nice to have should you ever need it.

Looks more like the pile of TV dinners you have eaten in your lifetime

I've just realised that one of my DAT tapes has been left out of the box for months now....a lovely coating of dust will surely add a darker tone now.

How do you store your old DAT tapes ?
