Just be aware that SSDs are not stable long-term stores - they need to be periodically powered up or they will eventually lose data.

- epc 4y agoAm hoping that monthly/quarterly use is enough but that’s a good point to research.
- danparsonson 4y agoFrom my own experience that's fine - I mentioned it more as a general note for anyone thinking of using SSDs for archival. I know someone who left a computer unplugged for a couple of years who lost all their data; I myself have successfully stored SSDs for a year or so without issue. Anyway as you say, worth doing your own research.
