As I've heard in many places, most predominantly on the techreport.com, an unpowered SSD will begin to lose data over time. Especially near the end of it's life.
When the drive is powered on is the controller periodically refreshing the data to prevent this from happening?
Could data be stored for long periods of time on an SSD by periodically connecting it to a power supply?
If yes, how long would it need to be connected for this kind of background process to finish?
