Is this the most compact 1KB of memory in Minecraft so far? Using my 1 tick comparator trick, we can now fit 4 bits of data per comparator to make a 1 kb hard drive. This is around one tenth the size of most conventional redstone data storage devices.

This is actually 1KB (bit over). I see a lot of people making memory in minecraft calling 1 KB 1024 bits, which is incorrect. 1KB = 8192 bits or 1024 bytes. If this is the most compact data storage in minecraft let me know 🙂
This does have a few downsides making it’s practical application not all that great. Firstly it’s sequential access memory (SAM) meaning it can only be accessed in the order saved. You could create “chapter selectors though”. Also there is no pausing it so it has to be constantly running. The uses that i can think of are things like note block songs or it could be useful for large amounts of data you want to temporarily saved/moved in redstone computer devices.
*Edit* There is actually an even more compact way of storing memory using chest mine carts. Although no one has actually built it in a more compact way it is theoretically possible. Check out this video for the concept https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydiyDVxs9ps
