Kingston has prepared a DataTraveler treat for US customers, a 256GB flash drive. Measuring 73.7x22.2x16.1 mm, it is a bit bigger than your usual USB flash drive, it still can store the equivalent of 54 DVDs.

The new DataTraveler DT 310 features a USB 2.0 interface and has maximum read and write speeds of up ot 25MB/s and 12MB/s, which is not that bad. It is bundled with Password Traveler software and backed by a five-year warranty period.

The ugly side, of course, is the price, which stands at around US $1,100, but that those that need 256GB of storage capacity probably won't mind it. Consumers who find this one a bit too expensive can always go for the DataTraveler 200 128GB, which sells for around US $400.

It's a real shame they didnt make it USB 3.0 - Can you imagine how long it would take to fill this thing lol.

I did... and i think a terabyte may fill up more and faster i'd reckon...

That is impressive along with the orice tag yowsers.

Might go for the 128gb one eventually. no way I'm spending 1000+ on a flash drive though. =P

Hmm.. I don't know why someone would pay $1100 for a flash drive, when they can get that much in a external HD for a much cheaper price. I mean i'm pretty sure everybody has enough room to carry around an external HD.
