Not the whitepaper research paper I was trying to reference but if you read just below the temp chart image is explains similar info about how quick SSD (unpowered) data loss is based on ambient heat. HDD while also succeptible to data loss is a better archive medium than SSD https://www.anandtech.com/show/9248/the-truth-about-ssd-data-retention

The data was for a worn out SSD 9 years ago. Drive data retention is way higher than that nowadays.
