there is sucha thnig as a trinary system, but for hardware its not really usable, since binary exists and its way simpler ot map out.
it isp ossible ot design hardware that understand trinary, but this is much more complex than it is worth for no real advantage...at least until we figure out quantum computing.

Modern SSDs with Multi-Level Cells (MLCs) actually do use multiple voltage levels to store multiple bits of data in a single memory cell. Triple-Level Cells can store 3 bits per cell. QLC's can store 4 bits. They end up just converting that back to binary for transmission though.
