How are these still on sale?

    I know a lot of people who put their single copy of files on USB drives “for safety”

    But in the case of the article looks like it was video shot and saved directly from the camera (professional cameras like the blackmagic save directly on USB SSDs), so there wasn’t time to backup it

      Looking at Blackmagic’s pro-level cameras, they support external USB storage and dual SD Cards and dual CFast cards.

      So there’s certainly no requirement to use external USB storage.

      But, they also say:

      When shooting is complete you can simply move the external disk to your computer and start editing from the same disk, eliminating file copying!

      Rather unfortunate advice.
