    The Borg don’t have that problem. Every drone knows everything the hive knows and the hive never forgets. Therefore every drone knows which cable to replace, should the need arise.

      It’s nice having a bionic eye that is directly connected to an Enterprise Content Management system which has schematics and engineering diagrams for:

      • Aforementioned cables, terminal blocks, pigtails and splices, homerun cables, and associated electrical and instrumentation loop diagrams

      • Piping and Instrumentation diagrams for all ship systems, including revision level document management

      • Plan and structural drawings of each Cube, with calculations

      • Environmental/equipment qualification documentation

      • Certificates of Compliance from Hive manufacturers, tracing materials back to their original source. These would also need to confirm to Hive QA programs and traceable Hive-wide standards, where applicable.

      • Indexed and catalogued maintenance work orders

      • Legacy documentation from previous species who were assimilated

      • Indexing and cataloguing newly encountered species’ technology and uploading it to the database

      Also the eye would be Augmented Reality so the drone can tell exactly what it is just by looking at it.

          That’s how the assimilation starts, then you find out that they start with 6 weeks of vacation, unlimited sick days, and free health care for your family… resistance is futile.

      Ah so they’re running in RAID 1 then. That’s a lot of data to transfer if they’re all constantly updating, definitely recommend upgrading to fiber-optic.

        Not RAID 1, its more like disturbed storage with redundant copies. You dont need all data to be on all discs if you replicate it enough times in geographically dispersed areas.

        The borg uses discrete cubes scattered across a galaxy, which is solid.
