It depends on the media its on... for example if you burn a cd or dvd it could last for up to 5 years on the norm... This is not the same as pressed cds and dvds that that music and movie companies/producers use... they have a longer life span...
Now harddrives can die at any time... it just happens... however the normal life span of a harddrive is around 3-5 years... but this does not mean that the data on it will not be corrupted by the os or the hardware...
Pendrives from what I've heard last for a few years of normal usage...
Hope this helps,
