Hard disk drives will last even less. The lubrication will dry up and the disk will seize way before the 25 year mark.

That's what you have redundancies and backups

I don't have an exact time span but personally I wouldn't trust them as anything more than temporary device storage, they randomly die often

Cheap, low quality flash, poorer QC, etc
