    I feel like this is a product looking for a market. Why would anyone ever trust that much data to something so fragile and easy to lose?

      4k Drones, upgradeable phones, DLSR cameras, Data per weight etc.

      I own a 1tb ssd for my Steam Deck, literally 0 complaints, runs real fast, can’t feel any heat, never need to take it out other than if I’m factory resetting, it’s perfect! (though Valves next deck should just have a bigger ssd slot)

      I use a 2tb (iirc) in my steam deck. Perfect application for that… Low rewrites, but totally expendable/replaceable data.

      I’d love them for my dash cam if they were affordable. My camera records in front and behind of my van in 4k, so that’s 90-100 gigs an hour. I leave it running as a surveillance camera when I’m parked, so just going to work and back in one day would use over a terabyte.

        Why would you continuously record? Just record motion events and you won’t need a card that large at all, plus it will last a lot longer.
