Comment(by Eben):

 I don't see any reason to be writing all of this onto the drive itself.
 We need to index it in order to browse it in a Journal-like interface, but
 it seems we should also just cache the index locally instead of on the
 device itself.  The exception to my desire ''not'' to write on USB media
 except for explicit copies is #1848, which I think will really enhance the
 experience of using external storage with the laptops.
