256 gig thumb drive

256 gig thumb drive

I still remember when I paid 400 bucks for 4 megs of ram for my Packard Bell back in the day.

Now they've got flash drives that are one 4th of a terabyte.

The pricing on this sucks right now but it is only a matter of time before these will be less than 50 bucks.

Kingston's DataTraveler 300 offered customers 256GB of flash storage on a single pen drive, but it was never officially offered in the United States. Today, Kingston is finally satisfying the capacity dreams of Americans with the introduction of the DataTraveler 310. What's wild is that 256GB is large even when you're talking SSDs; to see this size in the palm of your hand in the form of a USB drive is almost unbelievable.



It's Kingston's first-ever 256GB Flash Drive to ship in the U.S., and it replaces the DataTraveler 300 which was released in July 2009 to the Asia/Pacific and Europe, Middle East and Africa regions. The DataTraveler 310 features Password Traveler software, which allows the user to create and access a password-protected privacy zone. It's also compatible with pretty much any software system out there, but only a few of you will actually be interested. Why? The $1108 price, which is simply outrageous (but understandable given how rare this kind of device still is).
