• Kingston unveils new 256GB thumb drive
    70 replies, posted
Just heard about this while looking up 1TB portable hard drives. It has a read and write speed of 10MB/s and a transfer rate of up to 20MB/s. It is only available in Europe and the UK, and costs £565.67 ($924 USD). Oh, and it supports Windows ReadyBoost. I can't seem to find a link to where to buy one, but I've found numerous links to articles about it. See below.

Man think of all the girls you're going to get with a stick that big
Excessive much?
So easy to lose so much...
:frown: A USB stick bigger than my hard drive
[QUOTE=Ubercharged;17816665]So easy to loose so much...[/QUOTE] I'd probably replace a finger with it. Make it jointed somehow, job done!
Damn. My external 320 gig HDD doesn't feel quite so portable anymore, with power cord and all.
good luck using the USB port above or below the one this is in
:wtc:

It costs $900. No thank you.
My 8gb stick usually does me fine. Can fit most games on it.
neato
Better things to spend 924$ on.
Watch it cost half as much by next month
Maybe 924$ hooker.
It'd take you 7 hours to fill this up if my maths is right
[QUOTE=Xelatomis;17816755]Better things to spend 924$ on.[/QUOTE] like a girl . or a car. or a computer.
Anything above 16GB is pointless as long as they use USB 2.0 It would take almost a day to fill a 256GB up through USB 2.0, if not more. I won't be getting one of these 'til USB 3.0 is mainstream

[QUOTE=BlueSaint;17817211]like a girl .[/QUOTE] Wait what?
[QUOTE=BlueSaint;17817211]like a girl . or a car. or a computer.[/QUOTE] Where the hell do they sell cars for $900?

Price is a little excessive but once there's some competition it'll come right down. I can't wait.
I don't think the parts in my PC equals 900 dollars :tinfoil:
[QUOTE=Xelatomis;17816755]Better things to spend 924$ on.[/QUOTE] Yeah, like 11 1TB external HDDs.
[QUOTE=rieda1589;17825571]Price is a little excessive but once there's some competition it'll come right down. I can't wait.[/QUOTE] 128GB flash drives have been very very expensive for over the last year, no sign of them coming down soon. It'll be a while till we start to see these things floating around at the average consumer price range. I'd just opt for a 2.5" 320GB external laptop hard drive with a dual USB enclosure, no power supply needed. That would only set you back $70.
I'll get this when my 32GB stick breaks. Yeah, not.
