Why only SSDs?

HDDs are great for hoarding

applies to all flashdrives etc too pretty much

@Tervy What? Are you implying volatility in SSDs?

yeah once i stopped using my computer for a week and boom my data flew away

what did he mean by this

videos, music, images and long term files go on a big hdd, currently relevant files and what im working on are on ssd

how fast did it go

@Windatica

I have a net for data

I can catch it as it flies away

flash memory decays without power

For real though, are you blowing smoke up my ass?

but that's over decades

^

Good

Won't reconnect my great grandpa's 2tb SSD over, then

your grandpa's 120 might be ok

@Sapharanth yes

I'm actually thinking of WD M.2 SSD

What the fuck

So I'm supposed to stick my SSD in the oven after I'm done withit?

Less retention at lower off temps?

What is this fuckery

Nah nvm I'm retarded

🤔

65 weeks of retention with my use case

yeah its not instantly gone

but it throws in and extra worry compared to power-on-idle

its not a problem for you to worry about

I hate leaving shit on idle tho.

probably an issue for long-term archivals

>100 years

it's not like your putting everything on an SSD as a backup and putting it away for a few decades

^ and dead drops what get powered only once in year for few minutes

and done hard data actions and then off again

but yeah thumbsticks/usb drives are way worse on that shit

due more temperature fluctuations and such shit
