It is shown that many scientific facilities successfully resolved the task of data corruption due to degradation over time and external influence. It is noted that the Institute for information recording, NAS of Ukraine is a research facility proposed and realized a way of overcoming the longevity of data carrier problem. The analysis of the principles of the work of «fast» memory is made, its variants are presented.
