What would you put into one? I would like to leave behind a hard drive filed with valuable information but I don't think the date would remain intact after decades of non usage.

In theory it should be fine.

"in theory" is the important term here. In reality the mechanism running the drive is rather delicate and will degrade if you just leave it sitting on a shelve somewhere. The data on the platters should last forever though, perhaps somebody dedicated enough could be able to get it out even though the drive itself is dead. SSDs are even worse as the data will just straightforward disappear after a year or two of nonusage. The best way to passively (as in, you arent actively taking care of it by periodically ensuring the data is ok) archive something is via a magnetic tape.

I keep a bunch of nice pictures/short clips (memes, gore, greentexts, etc..) i found on the internet over the years and various pirated (cuz of drm) vidya and music, so i suppose it would mean a lot to me somebody else could derive something of value from it.
