Seeing these errors means "the SSD is on its way out," according to HTWingNut.

Since we're simply talking about being unpowered for a while, wouldn't a simple full format fix/reset all ECC errors? No need to scrap the drive.

Surely a cap/transistor temporarily losing charge shouldn't permanently destroy it!

Anyways, HDD for 6-24 months offline data storage, SSD for always-online data storage, and flash if you're a masochist like me.

And then links to a similar sounding but ultimately totally unrelated site.
