You can backup your PS4-data since firmware 2.50 on a USB-HDD... so it is not useless, especially if you want to transfer the data to a different PS4 model (f.e. from launch-PS4 to PS4 Neo). And you don't want to backup or restore 0.5 - 2.0 TB with USB2.0

Well, that depends on if you have many small files or many big files but sure, for backups it might be useful. But that's basically the only thing where it makes sense.

I've used it too for stuff recorded in the capture gallery, some massive video files that were taking up space, just popped in a usb drive and transferred them off the PS4 onto the PC for easier storage and uploading to youtube after some editing. The speed of the USB ports matters for fast transfer of large video files.
