    It says 1MB FRAM chips are around $25 each which is way lower than I expected. But 256 of them in a box seems pretty outlandish. FRAM is great for MCUs with a few kilobytes of it. It’s way better than flash, but still has write cycle limits unlike regular RAM.

      Different things for different purposes … RAID still has bitrot, you could do ZFS but that requires the device to be powered on and constantly scrubbing which can be very inefficient power wise. This is a passive storage device you can power on, write once and read 200 years in the future.
