Data at-rest in SSDs isn't really at rest. The controller is constantly scrubbing and correcting errors. The real hazard with SSDs is leaving them unpowered.

The real hazard with SSDs is leaving them unpowered. I know of a story of several systems purchased a decade before they were needed and by the time they were used the boot drives were corrupted.
- sillysaurusx 4y agoHuh. Interesting. That explains why my SSD died at boot time. I thought it was just coincidence, and that it had died the night before or something, but that obviously doesn’t make sense.
