Kingston Announces World's First 1TB Flash Drive - Polidicks

I still have my old 128MB stick I actually have a laptop from 1986. It has dual 720KB floppy drives. One of which DOS is on. GET ON MY LEVEL

Shit I still remember being like "Wow 4gbs!?"

Very impressive display. Depending on price, it could take over the portable HDD market.

Now I can put my steam folder in my pocket

I was amazed with the 64GB Micro-SD card. Dang.

Im paranoid enough about loosing my really tiny 32gb flash flash drive, id never let this out of my sight Or maybe slap a usb port inside my computer case and plug it in there

Now we wait another 10 years for the first quadrabyte flash drive to appear

That little thing is bigger then all three of my hard drives combined.

I always buy big flash drives, format them to a large allocations size then install old computer games on them like CoD and OFP. That's probably the only reason to buy a huge flash drive, unless you're storing movies on it or something. Likewise if you're a 3D modelling or graphics art student backing up your work always requires a sizable drive. Still 1TB is like outlandishly large. I use a 1 TB main drive for my computer and FRAPS is the only thing capable of filling it to the brim so far.

[QUOTE=hypno-toad;39140227] I think it's time to get new hard drives[/QUOTE] I would if I wasn't afraid of blowing up my PC. The thing is jury rigged together due to various DeLL-related reasons.

I have a 2 tb external hardrive that looks like a goddamn tank and this thing is like an ant compared to it yet still half the size

no one will give 1000 bucks for that i'd say 500 at most because i really doubt the nand costs more than 300 a chip

1TB of CP to take with me, everywhere. CP standing for [URL="http://0.tqn.com/d/coins/1/0/k/3/-/-/Martha_Washington_Coin_Rev_1000.jpg"]Coin Pictures[/URL] of course.

[QUOTE=hypno-toad;39140205]Now we wait another 10 years for the first quadrabyte flash drive to appear[/QUOTE] Quadrabyte isn't a unit. And anyway quadra would mean 4 as in quadracopter. Why would you want a 4Byte flash drive.

Fill it with porn.

I can't imagine normal consumers still using physical hard drives for everyday tasks in the future. SSDs are known to be more reliable, faster, smaller, quieter and lower power consuming than physical hard drives. USB sticks can also be the same (besides from lifespan at this moment in time) when compared to external hard drives. Prices of these are still dropping and it's only a matter of time. Are we slowly reaching the end of disk based storage drives on the consumer level?

[QUOTE=Itsjustguy;39132669]Good bye, hard drive.[/QUOTE] Flash Drives and SSD's can't touch HD's ability to store fast amount of information sequentially... for cheap. [editline]8th January 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=1/4 Life;39132730]Sorry to stomp on your dreams, but there's a very good chance this thing is not faster than your current HDD. Readyboost only turns on if it's quicker.[/QUOTE] Um... no. If he's using a standard harddrive, even basic flash drives will work. The benefit is in small, but fast access. Flash by design is <1ms access times, compared to a disk which might be 15 or 20 on average. A flashdrive like this is twice as fast as most standard desktop harddrives. It will definitely use readyboost, assuming he doesn't have a huge amount of ram.

Then yea, same thing. This is inside of something about half the size of a cigarette lighter.
