Notes
- Entered competition in third round
gollark: At probably >10 times the price of equivalent hard drives, too, but it's cool.
gollark: Did you know that you can get nearly 4TB SSDs now?
gollark: They have apparently been developing ones which need microwaves/heat to flip (MAMR/HAMR), no idea what happened with those.
gollark: This is in prototypes, they'd never actually ship ones which flipped randomly.
gollark: I think it's that they *can* get smaller, but unless something is done about it they just start randomly flipping bits.
