SSDs (flash memory) are more susceptible to Bit-Rot, and more so with the higher densities MLC, TLC, and QLC in order of increasing density. Elevated temperatures, particular during storage, exacerbate the problem.

Long term 'storage' is probably more reliable with a good quality hard-drive. But hard-drives are physically more fragile, so not as good with laptops in motion.
