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

      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

      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.)

        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.

          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.
