Anything more than 32 GB and you're asking for trouble when it fails. I've already replaced two at work since we have a few machines non-networked and need to use these for reading and writing. Short lifecycle.

I would rather have an actual hard drive. And I do.

Agreed. I had a 32 GB fail. Fortunately, I did not lose work, but I decided then that it is not worth the risk or expense.

What me worry?

[Marc Clifton]

The 512GB model is $1750! I would imagine, what, the 1T version to be $4K or more. Good lord, that seems absurd to spend that money when there are a lot of cheaper ways to go. Seems more like something you'd want in a James Bond career. Marc

That device does not make sense. Is there any use-case that actually justifies buying such an expensive toy?

Wow, this whole thread looks exactly like the conversation I had with my co-workers about it before lunch :laugh:

I have this[^] I have had no problems with it, and the reviewers that gave 1 star seem to not be very good with technology. The drive needs a lot of power to operate, and a USB 2.0 port won't provide it. I still can't figure out how people can think a device made for USB 3.0 will work full speed and with no errors in a USB 2.0 or even a (GASP) USB 1.0 port! (I know people who have computers with USB 1.0 Ports, and they say 'Upgrade? There are newer versions?' and wonder why Windows 7 won't run on their 10+ Year old machine.)

Too bad so expensive ($1,337.00), and not sure about reliability compared to HDD

<sarcasm> Who would ever need more than 640K? </sarcasm> Actually I've had pretty bad luck with larger USB sticks. I think 8 - 16 GB is about the reliability limit for now.

Even flash drives wear out. They are only good for a certain number of writes. That's going to be a high number, but if you try to use it as a system drive or something that does a lot of writes it will die on you in time.

Nice! I have a 64GB SSD that I use to hold a VM of my development environment, otherwise, I just use "redundancy" between a couple computers as a backup for A/V stuff and a remote SVN server for everything else. Marc
