I note , CHEMICAL reactions proceed faster with heat. So this why data retention is longer if device is in "...cold storage.." (This situation is also know with old photographic film , if stored in low temperatures it can last cira 100 years, but if stored at much higher room? temperatures , the film deterioration is much faster )
In SSD drives digital bits are stored as a electrical charge amount for each "cell".
I suspect these cells have been decreased in size to provide much larger numerically increased SSD storage amounts. The decreased cell size means the charge decreases below needed amount faster and ssd becomes unreliable.
MORE IMPORTANTLY - I also contend the SSD CHIP DESIGNERS would have/SHOULD HAVE been aware of this size effect and the decreased SSD reliability was not publicised OR specified for the product data sheets.
Presently I'm looking for articales that prove my suspicions or assertions
