I'd say you would get a year or less. A slightly better solution is to
mount the filling system on full size USB stick (not the small flush fit
ones, as they are no better than SD cards), which will last 2-3 years.

If you want long term reliable storage, you need put the filing system
on a proper drive. Either a USB hard drive, or an SSD with a USB to SATA
adaptor. You'll probably only need a small amount of storage, and 32GB
or 64GB SSDs can be picked up very cheaply.
