@WATCHINGTHEWATCHERS Of course it will.
There are software formats and hardware formats. Because of Moore Law, the cost of software formats (FAT, NTFS, exFAT, etc.) are diminishing toward zero.
Hardware formats though, have to be manufactured. If for example, nobody manufacture cassette tape player anymore, it will be hard to read what is in it. That's where the need to "refresh" came from.
From my own experience, the data inside my IDE hard drive are still readable after 20 years, but there are no more motherboard that support IDE. Thankfully, the cost of IDE to SATA converter is just a dollar or so.
