Phison announced today that its 8 TB M.2 2280 SSD solution has completed flight qualification tests required for Lonestar Data Holdings' historic first lunar data center mission.... After receiving NASA certification, Phison 8 TB SSD is going for historic launch.
Interesting marketing approach for their components. My computer runs hot rather than cryogenically cold and in a vacuum though. Hope they stress tested them for that too
Funnily enough heat dissipation can be an even larger problem because vaccum offers no natural medium for carrying away excess heat. Obviously they're going to use some form of contact heat sink but yeah, eventually you have to transfer heat *somewhere*
Cosmic radiation and bit flipping is the biggest issue in space ! Our atmosphere is shielding us to a very big degree , but still happens .... Now in space you and everything in comparison gets bombarded... Killing transistors and bit flipping in order of magnitude more than the surface of the earth!
