My hippocampus too.
People have ssd’s sitting in drawers?
By that logic, most my SD cards should be corrupted by now?
Capacitors lose charge overtime, so not new.
But this is also a way to restore old ssds ?
Still not gonna stop me from pirating and storing media….
I would advise all with important data to invest in a NAS.
This isn’t already well known?
Even a plugged in SSD will lose data, though much more slowly.
One of the reasons why HDDs are still around. While HDDs can go bad, their data can’t be lost over time as easily. SSDs are not ideal long-term data storage devices.
Meh I’ll just make more data.
So, what is the recommended rate of replacement for this? If I swap to a new SSD every five years is that more safe? Or is there a way to know when you should swap?
I’m guessing this is the same for portable SSD’s?
this wasn’t ever supposed to happen. I wonder what changed.
Downvoted for sensationalist title. The data on your SSD will be fine if you, like, ever actually plug it in to your computer. Believe it or not the engineers who made it didn’t just overlook such a glaring flaw in the technology lmao.
But yeah, SSDs should not be used for save-and-forget backups that sit untouched for years.
I think the only real safe method of data storage is redundancy and backup since every storage medium can fail one way or another.
Battery tender for ssd
Do flash drive and microSD have the same problem too?
Like tears in rain.
SSD aren’t rated for archival usage right?
Always has been
Any medium will eventually loose data. Except some physical analogue ones that have data literally carved into them, like LPs and punch cards. Everything else barely lasts 10-20 years max. Justvtry playing an old VHS from the 90s. You’ll be lucky to get any sort of vaguely functional image from them nowadays.
Good think I’m still using Iomega Zip Drives 💾
Connect them to a PC or laptop every 6 months and keep it connected for a few hours.
I’ve actually ran into this quit e abit the last year or so at my job. They tend to buy these cheap no name brand flash drives, and I am constantly getting people asking if I can get data off cause they plug it into their PC after having it a year and the dirve either shows up as RAW, or the PC doesn’t even see a drive at all
This is a myth. They are rated to last 5 to 10 years minimum. His 1 year figure is only backed up by articles he wrote. There’s no science here.
That’s ok. I forgot they were in the drawer
Western Digital simply discontinued support for their cloud drives. Had my iTunes on it.
If the drive is in a drawer, you aren’t using the data on it.
I hate all the fearmongering around SSD endurance/data retention. First it was „flash storage degrades super fast in use“ and when people realised that the average consumer won’t hit the TBW of even a basic 1TB drive after a decade of normal use, we get this instead.
1 year unpowered is the minimum jdec spec. Plenty of manufacturers rate their drives far higher. As in 5-10 years.
And you just need to plug a drive in every so often and the memory controller should handle everything for you to avoid data loss. It’s an absolute non issue unless you’re going to store everything important you have on an SSD, make sure it’s unpowered, and then enter a coma for several years.
