It is feasible to have the data daisy chained and recorded by more than one recorder.

In a chaotic disintegration it improves the chance of survival.

One of the recorders could be designed to float, another built into the tail fin or other structures that tend to survive and easier to find like landing gear.
Latest generation of Solid state memory is incredibly light.
