I think a couple of reasons. First, SSD external drives are smaller, easy to carry. Second, it is faster even though the limit is on the port that's using but SSD can still be faster than a regular drive especially you use it to store your pictures and small files. The loading time for those folders are killing people. Third, not everyone need a few terabyte level external drive, so SSD is a perfect candidate for the job. And the last but not least, it is shock proof, you can use it on the go without having to worry the movement of your environment will damage the disks.

From the article:
The low performance can be attributed to the DRAM-less nature of the device as well as the use of QLC and tests carried out on other benchmark applications yielded similar results.
Honestly, it would probably be fine for most people in most situations, but if you spent a little bit more, you could get something significantly better if you rolled your own.

Example uses could be external game drive for console or PC, storage media for video camera, scratch disk, or just a nice-to-have thing.
I have a 2tb I use as one of my PC backups. Yes it's overkill when a normal HDD would get the job done but I got a good deal on it. However I would recommend avoiding something like this because it would be a lot harder to use as an internal drive if you ever had the need for it. to me, it would make a lot more sense to just get a regular two and a half inch SSD with an enclosure. That way you can throw it in your computer if the need ever arises.
One possible explanation are people who buy cheap MacBook airs or MacBook pros with very little storage. Not saying I've ever done that myself.
This is true. I store my Raw picture files and just tons of pictures on a regular drive and the large folders tend to load very slowly. I guess I could see getting this for $100 to save time with pictures and have it on the go. Thanks all for your answers.

I travel a lot and the shock resistance is huge for me. I dnt want to have to worry about an hdd failing after I throw my bag around. The 3.2 speeds are also pretty great (personally an MBP user).
