⚠️ Storage warning: Unpowered SSDs may not protect your data the way you think.

A long-term endurance investigation found that SSDs left unplugged for extended periods can suffer:
💾 Performance degradation
📉 Critical data loss
🗂️ Silent corruption of cold backups
🧠 Higher risk if the SSD is already worn

This is a reminder:
🔁 Refresh your backups
🔌 Power up drives regularly
🛡️ Don’t rely on “set it and forget it” storage strategies

Backup hygiene matters — even when the hardware looks fine.
