      I guess. Technically. I don’t usually count encrypted without the ability to decrypt as useful, but, I’ll give you the up arrow because technically correct is the best kind of correct.

          No, the data is not physical, it is either magnetic or electric.

          Since most people still store their media on hard drives most media is purely magnetic.

          In a solid state drive storage chip the data is stored electronicly.

          Thanks, my point is simply just that data is still physical, no matter what.

          Turn off the PC and see how well that no-matter-what applies…

          A document locked inside a box that I personally don’t have a key to doesn’t make the document inside of it non-existent, just inaccessible to me, personally.

          What’s the point of having inaccessible data?
