theoretically in a perfect environment no degradatoin of data would occur so they could store data from now till the end of the next forever. untill the medium is perfected however the best storage time is about 0.5 of a year.
personnaly i believe this will soon be greatly improved upon untill it reaches about the 50 year mark and then go up to infinite storage time in one big jump.
