What would happen to the people if the buffer were to lose power or malfunction in any way? Even a small risk of anything adverse plus the degradation while being stored would make this not acceptable from medical viewpoint.
I’d presume they store it like we do now with erasure coding. As long as you don’t lose too many blocks you can recover missing components. It does balloon overall size but lets you shard the data in any way you want.
