I'm trying to understand what you're asking for that isn't available. Reliable portable storage? Isn't that what a portable SSD is? They start at like $60 for 1TB and get way cheaper per TB as you go up. Are you talking about a gaming-specific storage product/complaint specifically?

If the complaint is that large game distributors work to make it hard for you to store the bits on that SSD, yeah I totally hear you.






The key word is "reliable". Leave that SSD in a box for 5+ years and there's a fair chance of failure / corruption when you come back to read it.

I think he’s referring that it’s becoming harder and harder to buy media stored in that medium, nowadays most content is only available tough streaming services.

For those people the only way to obtain a digital local copy is via torrent.
