One would hope the durability of this is keeping pace with the capacity. If not, what is the niche? The 1TB is an enticement to use this for more than shuffling files from place to place. But absent the durability I would not want to do that.
Personally, I’ve long wanted a USB flash drive large enough to store my full movie collection. Traditional external hard drives are too cumbersome to use on e.g. public transit. By contrast, it’s possible to plug in a flash drive and still actually use my laptop on my lap.
If the drive died, I wouldn’t care too much (beyond the cost of replacing the drive), because the master copy of my collection would still be at home. (And of course I have other backups besides.)
The thing is, 1 TB is actually too small to make this work. I’d really need 4 TB.
