All storage has issues with bit rot. There haven't been any studies to show that SSD is disproportionately affected.

In 2016, HDDs were more reliable (MTBF).

In 2022, for the first 5 years, SSDs are looking more reliable. With more of a constant failure rate (1%/yr), than the increasing failure rate of HDDs after 5 years.

(Caveat: not just bit rot, but general failure data.)

There's a caveat there. We've had some new tech in SSDs come out very recently, new enough not to be in those charts will still have to see.

What is bit rot?

[–] Plopp@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

When bits of data on a storage medium goes bad for seemingly no reason. If you've ever had a library of files and all of a sudden there's a file that won't open even though you haven't touched it.
