We have sold none and I don’t know why anyone would buy it. But the good news is we have it available when you need a 64GB usb drive. ___end quote___ So I sent the following to my rep:

Why must 56K users be forced to download 20MB system updates?

Why aren't there higher capacity drives on the market? (At reasonable prices obviously) Maybe the big IT names want to continue selling us these tiny drives and release slightly larger capacity increments every now and then, and then convince us to buy those, making a profit on ever increment - I smell a conspiracy.
