This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.

Interestingly enough NASA still sends data this way. Huge HDD delivered by hand. Not all data, but I remember reading about some satellite images and similar data where latency doesn't matter. Can't beat good old box full of HDD.
I wondered why NASA was using pigeons till I read the rest of your comment.
yep, radio telescopes send data this way, thats how SETI@home got the Arecibo data
It was 10 years ago so I don't know what is the practice now but the "offsite backup" solution in my office was taking a hard drive to a safe at the local bank.
Every week someone would go to the bank to switch the drive that is stored there.
AWS offers a semi truck with a shipping container full of hard drives for large data transfers
Huh, I fully expected the link to be a hard drive article
