According to picrel, typical consumer NAND powered off can retain data for ~2 years at 25C/77F and every 5C colder the data retention doubles. Therefore NAND data retention across colder temps looks like this:
20C/68F = 4 years
15C/59F = 8 years
10C/50F = 16 years
5C/41F = 32 years

You don't literally have to place your SSDs and flash drives in the refrigerator where you store your food, you can use one of those ultra mini peltier cooler soda can fridges like picrel to achieve 16 years of data retention since they often can only drop to 10C/50F if your room temperature is 25C/77F.
16 years is around the point where LTO tape storage begins to physically rot BTW.

Keep in mind that all of this only applies to typical consumer NAND, the super expensive stuff can last so long at room temp that it's not even possible to measure.
>Winbond test data also show that the devices support more than 15 years’ data retention at 70°C after 10,000 P/E cycles

LTO tape per TB is very cheap and in perefectly climate controlled settings in can retain data for up to 30 years. However there are some nasty problems with it:
A) New LTO tape readers cost THOUSANDS of dollars
B) Used LTO tape teaders can corrupt tapes due to wear and tear
C) LTO tapes used for active, daily backups experience mechanical wear and should typically be rotated or replaced every 3 to 5 years
D) Random read/write performance is very bad, if important files exist at the start and end of the LTO tape reel you'll be waiting a long time.

I'm getting a UPS for black Friday, gotta make this son of a bitch last until the Democrats start cracking down on this AI shit. My hope is that they're really twist the knife into these AI companies because Democrats and Hollywood are married at the hip and no way they'll just let all the copyright infringement go uncontested by these AI companies. But let's try to stay on topic here anon, remember that we are here because we are very sick of the non-stop AI spam on 4chan so talking about it here isn't helping.

Not gonna lie, this sounds like bullshit.
