I'd rather just download all of wikipedia onto an SSD and plug it into a raspberry pi or something.

  SSDs are poor for long-term storage, as flash cells need occasional (=every few years) refreshing to not lose their data. Tapes or regular hard disks work better for that purpose.

    That's pretty interesting! I suppose tapes and hard disks are cheaper than SSDs anyway.
