Yes, they have a lot of data. But there is this new device they may have heard of - called Ethernet? Lets you have all your drives connected to the server, and all your computers on people's desks. That way, things don't get lost.

Former NSA chief named to CompuDyne board
Hanover-based CompuDyne has nominated former National Security Agency head Mike McConnell to its board of directors.
Shareholders in the public security technology company will vote on the nomination at the firm's annual meeting Thursday.
McConnell is a vice president and director of Booz Allen Hamilton's Infrastructure Assurance Center of Excellence, where he leads the firm's assignments in information operations and military intelligence in such areas as systems development, advanced analytics and transformation.
McConnell was director of the NSA from 1992 to 1996. He served as the intelligence officer for the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff, during the dissolution of the Soviet Union and Operation Desert Storm.

That is true, even worse is USB drives of the same capacity, since every machine ships with USB these days (not every machine has SD). However, it might slow things down a little bit.
