🔌🗄️ Oh no! Those #SSDs you stashed away like a squirrel in winter are losing data, because apparently, they need power to function. Who knew storage devices weren't magic boxes? ⚡️🔋

My experience with #FlashDrives recently has been mixed. I have no problem in encrypting them with #LUKS, using #cryptsetup or with formatting a partition with #Btrfs, for instance, using #gparted and doing other tinkering with #Gnome #disks. But the problem has been with the actual drives themselves. The cheaper ones seem to have quite a few bad sectors, etc. and so they’re not really reliable for medium term storage.
