i mean thats superb for a personal stash of information, but paper is relatively unstable, unless stored in a buried capsule of some such, and is not exactly the densest of storage mediums i mean a kindle can hold 3500 books and thats only 4 freakin gig i got a hard drive next to me with 5000 times more storage than that!!! so thats 17500000 books all in something smaller than my head (not a hard task) but honestly its the thickness of a 500ml coke bottle and 2 or 3 inches shorter and just over half a bottle long, its really not very big! and it would be easy enough to have a paper book or even a kindle full of all the stuff needed to successfully salvage and retrieve the information of the hard drive, either that or find a reasonably intact computer and plug in the hard drive xD
