Also useful for devices where you want more storage but the device only has an SD card slot, or other slots are already occupied or sd card is just easier such as phones, Nintendo switch, steam deck, ultra light laptops, raspberry pi…
if you want long term CCTV setup properly you should be using ethernet connected security cameras and then transmitting it back to a central server with a hdd always recording. It’s much more reliable and way more cost effective, just requires you running an ethernet cable to where the camera is.
with ethernet the live feed is perfectly fine, and there is no remote downloading, it’s all streamed over the ethernet to a central box which handles everything from there. You might need some decode/encode capabilities, but to my understanding a lot of cameras will run multiple hardware encodes straight from the sensor over to the network already. So you probably don’t need much.
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.
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 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?
Filming 8K in a raw format maybe?
Also could be handy for smuggling banned movies/tv shows into authoritarian countries that block or outlaw unauthorised VPNs?
Though for the price these will retail for, would probably be easier to take more, smaller capacity cards…

It’s only 104 MB/s. Not enough for RAW video.
They’re not for long term storage, they’re for transient storage like photography, in particular stuff like surveillance cameras

Yeah but the live feed and remote downloading sucks

What brand do you have?
It depends on the type of location, small remote locations might not even get their own local network

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