Thanks for that lesser known fact... I'm evolving and learning.

If the terrorists are looking for a target, the Cannes Film Festival is on right on.

The original plan was to bomb the Oscars, but that would be whatever the opposite of terrorism is.

One lesser known fact about SSD durability is that their data decays if they don't receive power for long enough, making them unreliable for backups or archiving.

As for me, I have tried to minimize the amount of new files that get in, and maybe one day I'll sort everything that's already there...

Interesting. I didn't know that.

Okay, just a quick update...

I have a few SSD's (OS, main downloads and an extra.) attached and inside the PC I use daily (nightly... whatever), they have power. You got me thinking about all the clone, backups and archival mess that I had with an USB dust case and connection for each and all. Then I purchased a 7-Port USB 3.1 bar than I can periodically turn on each of the drives for a power exercise to stimulate those little electrons in them to lessen any decay.

What do you think anon?

(I believe you definitely know more about SSD's than most folks and as a matter of course (although it was I believe to be two years ago), much was also discussed on reddit about what you mentioned.)
