Unpowered SSD endurance investigation finds severe data loss and performance issues, reminds us of the importance of refreshing backups - Lemmy.World

very very old news

no storage drive on the planet last more than two to three years and just like batteries go bad just sitting like everything else been a problem that people refuse to acknowledge like everything else

actual problem is finding storage on not only more durable longer lasting drives but also ones that use materials and resources that are more sustainable

Very, very new news to me. I’m glad we have people like you who know everything. I just wish you would share your knowledge more.
This has been known since hard drives have been around. Just because ssd’s work differently, doesn’t mean that they have the same drawbacks as hdd’s when it comes to data retention while sitting unplugged.
Just stop. You have no idea what you’re talking about. You’re the one who needs to google how HDDs work.

You are correct I never went to school to learn about computers (including hardware). I’ve never done data recovery as part of my job. I’ve never once used Google to help me understand what’s going on with hardware, hard drives, solid states, or raid and raid like systems. I’ve never taken apart a hard drive, nor have I destroyed them in accordance to government mandated procedures for a government contractor. I guess I have some Google to do.

/s because I fear some can’t tell the difference

You can make all the claims you want about your training and knowledge. It doesn’t mean you know what you’re talking about.

I’m in first grade, English my third language, and both my parents refused to speak to me for the first 4 years of my life, and even I know you’re wrong.
