So who cares?  Why juggle when shelves hold so much more?

Because when you're storing something you don't want to be visibly seen
to be storing (typically something that's strong evidence of nefarious
activities - a simple example might be stolen credit card numbers) you
want a form of storage that disappears with few-to-no traces pointing
to you when law enforcement rolls through and seizes your computer.
