That's 2TB in bulky, expensive, fragile, and heavy hard drives. The flash drives have the advantage of being truely portable. No worry about breaking it by dropping it or such, and the flash is much MUCH smaller and lighter.

Technically, ROM. Flash ROM is still ROM, just with an electronic method for erasing a section to be able to write to it again. (they also were known as EEPROM, for Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory). They just happen to drop the ROM portion of the "Flash ROM" when they are talking about things like flash drives and such, because it seems silly calling it Read-Only.
