SSD data still remain 100% accurate after drop or shake?

Hi there,
My work requires me to travel a lot with my drives, so I use SSD, instead of HDD.
During my travel, when those SSD travel in my suitcase, or in my laptop, they (sometimes with the computer) will be shocked a lot, sometimes even fall from the airplane luggage cabin (I'm trying my best to protect them, wrap them, etc., but sometimes those things happens, I even had it once falling from the TSA transport platform, because someone else is rude...)
I do have backups, this is not a question about how many backups should I use.
My question is, after such things happens, I get to where I can work, I power on and I still see that SSD and it seems it's working correct. The word here is "it seems".

1. Can I fully trust that once it's working, all data should be correct and as the exact same as they were before I start to travel? I'm carrying 5 SSD, it's hard and too much time consuming for me to compare every SSD or file with Hash test each time when traveling...
2. In such accidents, should I always fully recover the data from my backups even though the SSD/Data seems to be working just right?

Thank you

SSD's have no moving parts, there as solid as a rock, if something does break, the enitre drive should just die. No, ssd's dont lose data from being shook or dropped. I shouldnt worry about recovering every single time you go on a trip, the only time you should recover is when the ssd's near the end of there read/write cycles.

Just recover the data once every 6-12 months, ssd's are very durable and there deaths are very easily predicted :)

Thank you Seagate_Surfer.
I have the backups, my point is should I continue use the dropped SSD's data, or it's best to recover from the Backups, EVEN THOUGH the dropped SSD datas SEEMS to be good?

Thank you. Just to confirm, you mean I can continue to use the DATA from that dropped SSD instead of fully recovering from backups, and also continue to use that SSD for future data, as long as it seems to be working right?

Hi dmitrygolovko4
Thanks for your reply.
"Just recover the data once every 6-12 months, ssd's are very durable and there deaths are very easily predicted :) "

Why should I recover the data from my backup drives every 6-12 months when my SSD seems to be working correctly? Do you mean back up my datas?
