This technique has one advantage that I can see being very useful -- it is easy to delete large amounts of data quickly. Imagine you hear the feds knocking on your door -- you just unplug your fiber, and let all the light (aka your data) fly out into the room. Your data is gone, permanently. If the latency is a minute, then it only takes a minute to delete
everything
-- all 6.5 GB of data according to your calculations. Show me another method that can delete 6.5 GB a data in a completely unrecoverable manner that quickly.
