External HDD and SSD devices aren't that good as well. The quality of the board and the way it's attached to the storage is often flimsy.

I bought a 1TB usb stick on Amazon for $10, and it's great. I only put 10GB on it... Surely it can hold a whole TB.... weeee.

Quality of flash getting worse while price simultaneously goes up... smells like capitalism!
