Unpowered SSD endurance investigation finds severe data loss and performance issues | Tom's Hardware
SSD lost data if they are not connected on a regular basis.
At least once a year for SSDs
At least once every 6 months for professional SSDs
An SSD's endurance rating is calculated based on how long it can store data if left unplugged after a certain amount of data has been written, hence the importance of this testing.
SSDs can took over 4x longer after two years of heavy use.
This is a small test sample though.
