I keep intending to launch a service that downloads cloud data and sends it to you on an SD card.

I hope to fix up my prototype and launch it next year.

If anyone knows of a quality source of bulk SD cards or flash drives in high capacity please let me know.




The susceptibility of the SD card to data corruption is a big showstopper. The only digital files I've had corrupted were stored on my phone's external SD cards (after 3 to 7 years). When I looked into it, it seemed to be an issue related to lack of radiation hardening. So if you do make this service, please include some error detection/error correction metadata.


That is good feedback

The idea would be to subscribe to have this data shipped once or more per year so hopefully some of the data would survive.

Any advice on error correction metadata and tools?
