Reply to comment by MuForceShoelace in TIL that flight recorders must be able to withstand an acceleration of 3400 g for 6.5 milliseconds and that this is roughly equivalent to an impact velocity of 270 knots (310 mph; 500 km/h). by IchBinKoloss
That doesn't matter, it matters what the impact velocity of the record is, which will be reduced due to the plane crumpling.
