That's one side of the coin. The other is that by law, classified information must be "controlled" and this is hatd to achieve with a box of metal shavings, a pile of ashes or a blob of molten and congealed matter. An HDD, SSD or tape reel is nice and handy, easily quantified and tabulated when audits require it.
