I would love to hear more about the kind of work done by people that need this level of security.

Like is the NSA covering their laptop screws in glitter nail polish? Are covert CIA agents? SOF?

Who needs this level of secrecy that would not have the physical security in place to protect the device in the first place?

Started downloading FLAC music after discovering how bad Spotify compression is even at the highest quality. I still subscribe to Spotify for discovery and convenience, but almost never use it.

Are there actual situations where you would even want this much data on a single drive?

Are you sure it’s not because it’s many times more efficient than any other source of electricity “generation”?
