> Can confirm. SSD are volatile storage. It's pretty much the worst option for long term backups.

you're making a fair point that should be noted, but you're ignoring what I said which I also think is a fair point that should be noted.

I did not say SSDs are good long term backups. I said (you should read the original but to reduce it) SSDs are reliable in the short term and unbelievably convenient and serially using them in the short term let's you use them for as long as you wish in the long term.

SSDs are not the worst option, you're wrong.
