Consumer NVMe SSDs only get to those higher temperatures if you're writing a lot more data than a SATA SSD or hard drive could handle. And such higher temperatures might at a stretch have a meaningful impact on the data retention time for data currently stored in the SSD, but won't meaningfully shorten the program/erase cycle count.
- formerly_proven 6y agoFlash has (much) worse data retention at higher temperatures, but endurance actually increases with temperature. So the optimal way to handle flash memory is mildly hot when written to (to increase endurance), but stored cold (to increase retention).
