Old FDR had stainless steel tape , I think modern technology would be solid state and possibly more easily destroyed.

Guess not.
Magnetic properties change with temperature and stainless steel is usually low magnetic material.
Data programmed into solid state Nand memory may after the solder process, show no change in data retention.
Light weight, small dimensions make it easier to protect.
