wow - harsh.
There are all types of users with a wide range of needs and economic constraints.
Is this comparable to the perfomance and reliability of a PCI-e SSD? Absolutely not. No-one is saying that. Would I put my road trip movie collection on it for use while traveling? For sure - at a fraction of the cost. This will go over very well for many of my customers.
The drive is still "local" so will be eligible to be backed up to TM and other cloud services like BackBlaze.
I think it hits a happy middle ground and offers another option for customers to choose.
