Logitech has dumped the Harmony remotes. Won't make them anymore.

Knowing them the remotes will brick themselves in a few months.

My Harmony remote was bricked years ago. The PC software is just a gateway to some website that 404s.

Checked last night.

There's a new app which is locally installed on the machine, vs the web based one that stopped working, and my old harmony works again. yay.

Write speed on QLC flash tends to be not as good. But probably doesn't matter for your application.

If speed isn't as important, plain 'ol SATA SSDs are stupid cheap these days.

1TB SSD seems to be about the same price...

In case you want to connect to header pins on your project board, but don't want to have the port flush mounted to a case.

So, if you want to look like a FUCKIN' AMATEUR and have a female USB port hanging off your dildo like a tail.
