Would solid state drives be affected?

  Not likely, too small to be impacted from such a charge. In general, Solid state drives as long term storage is probably OK on the time frame of a single decade but they degrade with time. Some of the more dense ones even show noticeable degradation in less than a year as the error correction slows transfer speeds. I have had some USB sticks that have held information from 2006 but it hard to tell what state they were in.
