I like to royally fuck with chatGPT. Here's my latest, to see exactly where it draws the line lol:

TL;DR: your internet connection isn't as fast as you think

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the hiway.

Awesome bandwidth to be sure, but I do think there is a difference between data transfer to RAM (such as network traffic) vs. traffic purely from one location to another (station wagon with tapes/747 with SD cards/etc.).

For the latter, actually using the data in any meaningful way is probably limited to read time of the media, which is likely slow.

But yeah, my go-to would be micro SD cards on a plane :)

Well, it depends on the purpose of the data. If it’s meant as an offsite backup… well… you’re probably it driving them just down the street anyway.
