That means if a solid-state drive is stored in a warm room, say 77°F (25°C), its data can last for about two years. But, if that goes up by a mere few degrees to 86°F (30°C), that data's retention period will be cut in half.

Number of hard drives with data I care about, that I keep in hot rooms, and do not power up for years: 0
Percentage of physical hard drives I would expect to fail to spin up at all if used for 6 months and then left unpowered in a hot room for two years: 50%
