For modern NAND flah (and eMMC/SD cards) there are 2 things that ar bad
1/ frequent writing to it (wear out)
2/ long time power off
This type flash looses content pretty fast, and as long as the data is refreshed/re-written that is not a problem. But leaving a modern SD card without power for years, will make the card useless. The higher the temperature, the worse it gets.
So this is not the type of storage for your family photo's. Better use an old harddisk. SSD's are the same type of memory and will exhibit the same phenonem.
I learned this yesterday from the vendor.
