That's not the same thing as 'watch videos on the train'. If your
criterion is 'I want to be able to carry around three years of videos
at all times' then you will indeed need a large hard disk. However,
unless you're travelling overland to Vladivostok, it's enough for a
few journeys, surely? The trade-off is that some housekeeping is
required, but SSDs have their advantages too.
