Sorry for a second response to the same comment. While on the topic of entertainment, consider the opposite of putting erasure codes on many weird devices!

Years ago, some colleagues and I did the napkin math over lunch to estimate what a single hard drive would look like that could store all of Google's data. This was for a humorous internal talk. The linear speeds of the outer sectors were enough to leave the solar system (not just higher than Earth's escape velocity). Good laughs were had, I think.

I wonder if you did that same calculation today, what percent of the speed of light would the edge of that disk be moving...I miss that kind of humor.

It's easy enough to repeat, but I'd be leaking sensitive info that way. Sorry :/

No worries, I completely understand!
