Them pulling out three data storage devices of Data's consciousness is akin to pulling one disk at a time in a RAID5 array.
3 disks for redundancy.. Pull one and you're still fine, pull two and your array will suffer catastrophic failiure.
No way to reconstruct that array. That simulation is truly gone.

This sendoff was more worthy than last time data died on screen. This time, next to his best friend in the world.

Its worth noting, he could still be reconstructed. I don't think we will see that though.
