Along with HDD, I've been using Samsung SDD for years. And the rock solid, last ditch, backup effort is an optical disc library composed of M-Disc and archival Blu-ray. The dozen or so SDD's I have used are Samsung .5TB, 1TB and 2TB. Never a problem with any of them. Thought I'd try some 4TB Samsung SDD's. The 4TB Samsung portable T7 broke in the middle of the first transfer of 600GB. Computer won't recognize now, won't light up...nothing. There seems to be lots of issues with Samsung SDD. I also tried 2 internal 4TB Samsung 870 EVO with enclosures for external use. Problems there as well, but still can't say 100% as I'm trying new enclosures. But no doubt with the 4TB portable T7 that is dead. Samsung used to be top shelf, no worries.

I'm testing how long SDD drives hold data without being plugged in. First part of the test is complete. 11 months for a Samsung T7 was OK. Next test is due early 2024. I have enough Samsung drives to go out for a few years of tests. I had heard they lose data if not plugged in periodically. The 'how often' part is up in the air. I've tested SD cards and they hold data pretty good. Also testing thumb drives, going out to 14 years...if I live that long. Here are some SD card tests.
