How do SSDs compare for storing lossy media? And how does temperature factor in?

Out of a gut feeling I've been taking out my music SSD and storing it in the freezer when I'm gone for the weekend, or on holidays etc, as to retard the lossy decay process. But I've never actually measured, maybe you can throw in some expertise here?

Be careful. If your freezer is really cold, you can turn your CDs into superconductors, which may not lose bits, but they do introduce quantum shuffling of bits, where the same bits physically exchange position with other bits.
