Just heard first time that SSDs lose data if left unpowered for months. (zerobytes.monster)

This has me worried because I have a Samsung external SSD and a couple of cheaper SSDs that I occasionally left disconnected in a drawer for 6 months or more.

I also have a laptop from 2018 that I don't use for months, it's battery would deplete in a month. It has its OS on a 256 GB M2 SSD, and it's drive D is an SSHD. I don't think I noticed any obvious problems with it.

I also have multiple regular USB flash drives, some of which are over 10 years old and rarely used. Could they lose data too or become corrupted?
