In a similar vein, why can we not use the technology of RAM to prolong the life-cycle of an SSD?

    From what i’ve read it’s temperature dependent, and at room temp some dram cells might take as long as 10 seconds to decay. The 64mS refresh is a super conservative call because it’s really bad when random bits go missing out of memory. The decay is faster at high temperatures, but some dram controllers might actually adjust based on temperature.
