The device is a ridiculously slim 7mm thick, and the drive is cased in an all-steel chassis that looks very sleek compared to most bland hard drives.

sacrificing intended purpose for a function you'll never see nor care for in a few years isn't what id call impressive. unless by impressive, you mean impressive waste of R&D funds.

a external device with 10 Laser disc sized platters and a storage capacity of 980 TBytes would be much more functional and perform its intended role far better. its to bad every ones busy trying to nano size crap.

it will work, its just dead end tech. there are flash drive that are pushing past 500GB for a measly 50 bucks more.

would you rather tote this thing around with a cable or have a device the size of your thumb that you can plug in with no wires?

I carry around a 128GB flash drive. Cost me $35. I agree with you 100%.
