It still has benefits. Solid state (chips) storage is NOT long lasting...1 year tops is the best estimate I've heard. But at this point, the loss may be so small as to not be discernable.
In other words, if you copy data to a data storage device made with solid state chip storage, and then it is not connected to external power, electricity, for a year, some of the data will begin to 'fade' or degrade. Within three years, it is estimated that chip storage, like a FOB, will loose a significant amount of data and become possibly unreadable.

Not yet ... it is the only easy medium for artifact storage of large volumes of data, like movies

@SWisGoingWoke It is flat magnetic mediums that are reaching their physical and production limits.
Achieving 100 TB on a USB attachable storage drive is the next stop
How to get there is challenging
$22 FOBs encourages us!

@questionWeaver At the risk of revealing my age, my first hard drive was $10,000 and 5MB. It came from Shugart and was in a metal case that was slightly larger than a briefcase. That was 35 years ago and the advancements in storage capacity boggle my mind. Hell, I've still got some Zip drives and magnetic tape cartridges around here...
@SWisGoingWoke The advances are staggering
it never gets outdated
