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

      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.

      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?

        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?

                    Well, you could carry that essential backup of your entire Gentleman's Special Interest collection wherever you went...just in case you...um...needed...it ;)

                    If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

                          <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.
