Had a storage machine carrying some important data that’s been in cold storage for a year. Not too worried about the hdds, but thinking the SSDs could use a good once over to make sure none of the files have decayed. Not really sure how to do that though, was thinking of maybe running a virus scanner over the whole thing as that should force the system to look at every file, and maybe the ssd/hdd error correction will make sure everything is up to snuff. Any advice? Is there a better way?

System is running windows so some Linux tools are trickier to fire up without creating some kind of live disc or something.

    Should be fine imho. Going a year without power shouldn’t be an issue or else tons of people would have issues worldwide
