    Idk, but depending on your use case, you can probably use the data straight from the drive without transferring it to local storage.

      In that case you could also just remotely access the usb stick through the internet without transfering all the data. In the video the guy includes the upload time from the USB stick. USB sticks can transfer data at up to 5gbit/s so it is still faster against a 1 gbit/s internet connection.
