- mikewarot 2y agoHow about the Emma Marsk loaded with SSD drives?
- lostlogin 2y agoAs long as the driver doesn’t jam it in the Suez, Ever Given style.
- Arrath 2y agoCareful, or the networking protocol might jam ever smaller boats in behind it.
- petra 2y agoIt might have higher bandwith than the total bandwith of the internet.
- ClassyJacket 2y agoWhat if we special built a space vehicle to hold as many MicroSD-style flash memory chips as we could and blast it off at Voyager speeds?
- mikewarot 2y agoNope.... SSDs aren't going to retain data for decades, especially with all of the radiation spewing around outside the protection of mother Earth. The gold record will last way, way longer, as it's low density data, thus fairly redundant, and you could work around any micrometeorite holes.
- ClassyJacket 2y agoYou're right, I didn't think of the radiation flipping bits\melting stuff, but we could shield it. And to be fair we're talking about going for the bandwidth world (uhh... universe) record, not the data-longevity record. Just make it last as far as Mars or something.

For example Samsung 990 Pro 4TB M.2 NVMe SSD: DIMENSION (WxHxD) 80 x 22 x 2.3 mm with WEIGHT Max 9.0g Weight Highest density would be raw NAND flash chips: ICs would be ideal. Maybe 12 inch wafers would be feasible but likely lower data density because flash chips are densely stacked within an IC.
