		whitepoplar 16 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Unpowered SSDs slowly lose data Thanks! I think you're right about just using an HDD, but for my portable SSD situation, after a full read of all blocks, how long would you leave the drive plugged in for? Does the refresh procedure typically take a while, or would it be completed in roughly the time it would take to read all blocks?

Does the refresh procedure take place at all?

I would hope so.
