We transfer a lot of data between clients and our processing servers. How
the data is sent is up to the client: if the value is greater than 'a GB'
it's usually by external USB drive.
Sometimes the 'technical POC' at a client isn't very technical. They get
the job done, but their real job is 'lawyer' or 'para-legal' or the like.
I can see a client finding this, and deciding to eschew 'wires' for
plugging a thumb drive in. Hey: the cost to ship would be lower ..
