What's the point of a 1 TB USB flash drive?...For my notebook I like the fact that it has a silent SSD. But I need to use an external harddisk to store all my data and that is no SSD and therefore can make noise.

If you can have a 1TB USB flash drive, then presumably you can have a 1TB internal drive which will store all of your files. (As indeed I have at this moment; well worth the ~$550.)

Yes, but that doesn't change the fact that looking at the usefulness of a 1TB USB flash drive is not a useful way to look at incentives to develop better storage media.
