We all heard about it: multiple backups. SSD is slightly worst in terms of longevity compared to HDD. Nothing is perfect. Etc..

But what are some practices to extend SSD longevity? Are there any programs to refresh the bits? Or how often or how long should you take it out of your hiddy hole and let a charge run through? Or your hiddy hole should be dry as a bone?

I am thinking of getting one soon and am genuinely curious. I plan to hide it in a thermos and only take it out to backup all my important doc once a month.
