minus-squareCocodapuf@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·29 minutes agoOk… Data redundancy is a possible application… I will tentatively say that’s a feasible goal, if still probably a stupid one. I mean, how often do data centers upgrade storage drives? Cause the cost of doing that in space is… unreasonable.
