Problem is, SRAM has this annoying tendency of storing
data for a really long
time if it's frozen beforehand.
It also tends to "remember" data bits that have been stored in the memory
cells without any writes for a long time.
Magnetic media also has a pretty good "memory", even after many, many
erasings and rewrites. I seem to remember you can get the "history" of a
magnetic area on a disk by looking at the very edges of that area, as it
builds up like growth rings in a tree.
