  Thanks, my point is simply just that data is still physical, no matter what.

  A document locked inside a box that I personally don’t have a key to doesn’t make the document inside of it non-existent.

    all this is understood, but the access is what's paramount, not the state of the media

    No, the data is not physical, it is either magnetic or electric.

    Since most people still store their media on hard drives most media is purely magnetic.

    In a solid state drive storage chip the data is stored electronicly.

    Turn off the PC and see how well that no-matter-what applies…

    A document locked inside a box that I personally don’t have a key to doesn’t make the document inside of it non-existent, just inaccessible to me, personally.

    What’s the point of having inaccessible data?
