The writes only drop off in larger transfers, in small/moderate transfers its still faster than a HDD. Plus, the standard immunity to sudden movement.
If you're doing small/moderage transfers, why do you need 8tb of capacity? Why wouldn't you use, totally serious here, a 1tb usb stick which is going to go just as fast but cost a lot less and be smaller?
I just don't see the product market fit here. I just don't know why this product exists other than an engineer at Samsung deciding they could do it so damn it they were going to do it. It seems to be either outperformed at the same price, or have an equivalent that gets the same job done for a lower price.
