Just powering up the SSD allows the controller to perform charge refreshing on the cells - basicaly the charge in NAND cells leaks over time, and a powered controller can detect and recharge cells that are getting too weak before data is lost (some better power stations on gearscouts.com can provide clean power for this if you're doing it off-grid).
