Earlier this week it was disclosed the information that SSDs start to lose data from a period of 7 days if kept off. The news came from a presentation Alvin Cox which unfortunately was misunderstood and wrongly passed on. No, you saved SSD is not destroying your data . The very low data retention period applies to units that have exceeded their “ strength rating .”
The” resistance classification “(endurance rating) is an estimate of the durability of the hardware. Like any electronic component, the SSD has a shelf life, and the “resistance classification” seeks to measure it. Past her, then yes your SSD will have difficulty retaining information, which is natural.
It is still important to note another problem of information with past news. Alvin Cox is yes, executive Seagate , but his presentation on SSDs where did all this roll was not made in your official of that company, but as a member of an expert committee on SSDs, that adds executives of several companies developing storage technologies.
A new SSD in optimal conditions of use, is able to retain data over a 52-week estimate (1 year) while off under the 30 ° C ambient temperature, as shown . in the table above
In other words: do not panic, your files on the SSD will not just disappear. But do not get this “comfort zone” and always remember to keep your vital files in more than one place, not to take risks.
