Seems like it would be feasible to purchase a few hundred of those drives and then store them in vacuum sealed containers all over the place.
I believe that worst case after 100 years, the worst that future data restorationists would have to do is replace some rubber belts, Maybe rework a connector or two.
If I had the space to store it, I would be searching for a second-hand engine and transmission for my 2004.
It’s probably a good time to buy them and then hold on to it for five or seven years until it’s needed. Rebuild it, slap it in, then keep the other one for a rebuild.
