    They’re basically several terabytes of memory cards with a really really really good casing, locator beacon and a big battery.

    Storage has improved hugely, but they also went from storing a hundred parameters once per second to storing a few hundred thousand parameters in pretty much realtime. Dozens of terabytes of data is already going in there.

    On the other hand, we can basically realtime encode video nowadays, so I don’t see why another 100gb would be a problem.
