   HG>TW> SSD's are really to new for any real answer but this is what most   
   HG>TW> experts think:   
      
   HG>TW> How long an SSD can store data without power depends on a number of   
   HG>TW> factors including the number of write cycles that have been used,   
   HG>TW> the type of flash memory used in the drive, the storage conditions   
   HG>TW> and so on. A white paper produced by Dell in 2011 stated that it   
   HG>TW> could be as little as three months to as much as 10 years.   
      
   HG>The number of write cycles is also a parameter with USB sticks but I   
   HG>think that that number is seldom achieved due to the normal use of 'em.   
      
   True but one figure I have noted is 100,000 Read/Write Cycles for a   
   flash drive which could take a while to do
