Yes, you can chuck your SSD into a freezer. Data retention time increases exponentially in lower temperatures, so keeping it in a regular +4C fridge is enough to extend retention by decades.
Just remember to heat up the disk before writing and after storage.

- hinkley 2y agoWhat about frost?
- nolok 2y agoIf my three year old 350€ fridge has a no frost option that never failed or had hiccups in all that time, I assume the industrial one bought to store drives in that hypothetical situation would do to.
