Might be a silly question, but aren’t SSD’s supposedly worse than HDD’s for storing data long term? Or is that just a myth?

I’ve read that if you only store data and then read it off the disk without overwriting then it’s comparable to HDD data degradation wise. Not sure how true is that.

If you dump 8tb of data onto a 10tb SSD and only read from it, it will probably last just as long as a hard drive. SSD's wear from lots of write operations, reading from them doesn't really do much other than the cache will be damaged over time.

From what time are we talking here? 1 year 24/7 or 10 years 24/7?
