If what you have is an SSD, you need to know how applicable it is to unplug/remove it, and hold it offline. What I read is that this is not a good fit for how the data retention of an SSD works, it expects to be plugged in to power more frequently. If the storage is safe for 6 months to a year to 10 years, it would be good to know. I believe it may not be.
I entirely agree that its not the medium of choice yet, if ever. LTO still exists for many people, perhaps 25+ TB hdd will make that moot.
