In addition, as we get older, fingerprints degrade and become unusable for these devices. So these devices with fingerprint resders are not as helpful in practice with the 55+ crowd, and the recognition gets worse the older the person is.

Always setup multiple fingers for backups if one doesn't work, as well as from a backup person. Don't end up like a locked M1 that loses your data forever and is just e-waste at that point.

To me, that makes the use case tor this to be short-term secure data transport from one location to another (e.g. courier doesn't have access), not secure offsite backup storage. Or, secure occasional use data . Unfortunately biometrics aren't magically better because there's no password to remember.

Also, US Customs (CPB) can force you to unlock biometric devices as your constitutional rights (4th & 5th amendments) are suspended within 100 miles of any border, on land or coastline.

Best not to use the thumb or index finger for fingerprint readers. Those fingers get so much wear and tear and the fingerprints are subject to cracking.

Also, this time of year, if you don't moisturize your hands, the cracking is more severe.

I recently tried Samsung T7 Shield and Crucial X8. Crucial X8 is faster for first 250 GB and then crawls down to HDD levels. T7 is not as fast as x8, but it has much better consistent write performance and therefore it is much faster than X8 for larger workloads (saving large files). I ended up getting a NVMe SSD with an external enclosure and it is faster than both X8 and T7. On paper all these can do 10 Gbps, but IRL the performance is not even half as good most of the time.

It should. The booklet shows $149.99 After $70 Off for In-Warehouse + Online. Today it is at $219.99 online, so tomorrow after $70 off, it should be $149.99.

Which is exactly the situation for reselling your M1 (to the new person) or refurbishing used M1s. Any corporate leases turn into e-waste, effectively. So much for corporate sustainability efforts if you have M1 (or the new M2) in your device mix.
I'm confused. Can't you reimage or reinstall the operating system without the fingerprint?

Nope. Apple locked the hardware to the owner's AppleID when they first activate it. They have to release it back to Apple to unlock it and it has to be done by the owner on the device. Which basically kills the legit reseller market as a side-effect of shutting down resale of stolen devices.

Bit off from the main topic, is there a site for storage review?
I am in need to purchase storage solution that could last at least 20 years.

Cloud is not an option. Size is relatively small, between 5tb - 15tb range.

Lol. True. My thumbprint usually stops working on my phone halfway through the work day.
