Being in the midwest, where we expereince just about

climate-controlled?) The unit will be dry, at least as far as rain,
leaks and flooding go.
Without actual climate control, humidity may grow mold on your stuff.
This might be a factor in choosing what goes in there.
How about heat? I'm worried about floppies and
tapes there.
Don't put any magnetic media in an uncontrolled storage space. My
personal opinion...
