        yea but SSDs are not reliable enough. random bit flips from cosmic events, degradation of data if unpowered for a long time, can only be written to so many times

        they are VERY reliable for casual PC use or even server storage but not for something that could start ww3 if it glitches

        also, as some other people said, dont change something that already works

          That has nothing to do with file transfer (“updating”), just long term storage. It’s also a solved problem. You can solve it at the software level with modern self-healing filesystems.
