    SSDs are not really good for long lasting backups. They hold data by electric charge, if you unplug your SSD and store it, then it might loose its data after just a couple of years. HDD “spinning rust” still has its merits when it comes to long term data storage, they hold their magnetic data longer without fresh power.
