It says 1MB FRAM chips are around $25 each which is way lower than I expected. But 256 of them in a box seems pretty outlandish. FRAM is great for MCUs with a few kilobytes of it. It's way better than flash, but still has write cycle limits unlike regular RAM.

Different things for different purposes ... RAID still has bitrot, you could do ZFS but that requires the device to be powered on and constantly scrubbing which can be very inefficient power wise. This is a passive storage device you can power on, write once and read 200 years in the future.
