I wasn't mixing them up, I didn't know both existed is all, :D.  But in 
all seriousness, I was simply reacting to the 2TB to 30TB numbers, 
without assuming or projecting any background in bio.  I stand by my 
claim that even 2TB is absurd to expect a tiny, 6 hour long-living 
device to push via USB, but based on your response and others this isn't 
what it is doing anyhow.  Very interesting stuff nevertheless.

Thanks for the note!
