You may not know it, but SSDs will lose data after a period of time if they are simply left unplugged, which can be a serious threat to your data if you store backups or precious files on unplugged SSDs. A year-two update on the how long can SSDs store data unpowered video series is another reminder about the importance of regularly refreshing your backups with a bit of juice. The tests consist of storing data on an SSD and then leaving it unplugged for years to see the impact on the stored data.

A year-two update on the how-long-can-SSDs-store-data-unpowered video series

Absolute banger of an example of a sentence that needs more hyphens. The author was kind enough to say "year-two", but then tortured us with trying to figure out the rest of the sentence.
