Retention is offline retention. Not online. So not sure what point you are trying to make. If it is that SSDs shouldn't be used for cold storage, yeah I agree, and enterprise SSds aren't designed for cold storage. But you seem to be linking retention to TBW, which are largely orthogonal metrics. If you are going to use the SSDs in a NAS, which by definition are running all the time, why would you even care about the rentention rating?
