As the good old Tanenbaum quote goes: "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway".

I work a lot with video production and mailing SD cards or driving around hard drives is still the best way to transfer data quickly and cheaply. The cloud is too expensive (both storage and egress) and P2P (Syncthing) is too slow with more than 2 contributors. Despite most of my regular team now having FTTH (except me!!), we still manually transfer media files and use P2P for the rest of the project.
