With an ever incresing volume of data at some point it will be more efficient to just send a physical hard drive back to earth :D

"Today, the disc sent out by Discovery 5 reached earth and crashed into one of the hundreds of old satellites. We'll never know what kind of useful information was contained on this disk and we're considering to go back to less material means of information transport... "
Lol, but you could always send more or construct a manoeuvrable hard drive. :P
Security through redundancy
"A huge swarm of disks crashed down in the City of New York earlier this morning as ground control lost the ability to properly steer them in the desired direction. Hundreds of oblivious pedestrians were hit in the head, many died immediately of their injuries. Those who survived will be disabled for the rest of their life. It seems like a calculation error that didn't factor in certain weather changes has been the cause for the disaster... "
Obviously you would add parachutes anyway if you had any intention of ever recovering them.
I am starting to feel a wee bit trolled around here xD
