?? Take a fast SSD and put it behind a slow wireless connection?? Why?

I'm just speculating here but the SSD is probably less for speed and more for durability. A physical disc can not stand up to the same g-forces, especially while in use, and therefore are not suited the best for this type of wireless external storage device. It also didnt mention it directly but depending on the size of the product a standard HDD form factor may not have fit the bill for the size and feel of the device they wanted.
