Super-sized USB Flash drives
It doesn’t seem all that long ago when little USB, Flash memory “thumb drives” came in sizes such as 32MB, 64MB, 128MB and so on.
But now – get ready for this – Kingston Technology has just announced that they’re marketing a 128 gigibite Flash drive compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux computers. Wow!
The new password protected DataTraveler 200 (DT200) line of portable drives includes a 32GB, 64Gb and the world’s first 128GB USB Flash drive.
“The new DT200’s robust storage capability lets consumers store complete libraries of music, photos and videos. It is also a great tool for business users who carry around large databases or files,” according to Andrew Ewing, Kingston’s USB business manager.
Now the bad news. The 128GB drives are built-to-order only. If you want one you have to place an order through an e-tailer or reseller.
Notice, I’m haven’t mentioned price yet. The 32GB drive comes in blue or black and has an MSRP of $120. The 64GB drive (yellow or black) retails for $213.
I hope you’re sitting down for this one… The special-order, 128GB Flash drive comes only in black – and will set you back a whopping $546!
Luckily, this costly memory investment will be backed by a five-year warranty and Kingston’s 24/7 tech support
$546 this year, $39.95 this time next year.
This is so cool!
