Consider yourself corrected :) SSDs will not lose data if left unpowered.
- pengaru 6y agoThat's not exactly true, but we're talking spans on the order of years without power to start losing data.
- maven29 6y agoWould a coin cell be sufficient to deal with the uncommitted writes still in the SSD's DRAM buffer?
- pengaru 6y agoIn his The Amp Hour interview, the late Chuck Peddle described developing new DRAM-based SSDs where they were using super capacitors to power this flushing operation. But I'd assume the coin cell in question here is a conventional RTC battery.
- polytely 6y agoI hereby stand corrected!
