Would you run your OS off of this?
See the world's previously largest USB stick and turn your nose up at it? Well, Kingston is back with something that might please a bit better: the 256 GB USB thumb drive.
So now it's entirely possible to have a USB thumb drive that's larger than your internal HDD. It features a read speed of 20 MB/s and a write speed of 10 MB/s. It might also cost more than your computer at a price that's around $900 and it's only available in Europe at the moment.
Tell us, what would you do with a 256 GB thumb drive?

do you REALLY expects us to believe you have less than 250GB of pron?
just about twice as thick as a normal drive
but that 900 dollar price is ridiculous
external hard drives are much cheaper and hold a lot more
Then again, who the hell will pay $900 for a flash drive? I know I get horny sometimes but hey, I don't need 256GB of porn on the road......
(6 GB of FLAC)
what else???

Agreed, Its going to take 10 years to fill that at USB 2.0 speeds.
However, I definately want one!
Well some people have created a scsi enclosure for a bunch of these flash drives. So, give that an eSATA interface and there you go.
But as far as these things go, if they get cheaper, then it would be nice to get rid of BluRay and DVD and have kiosks (or your computer) where you can download movies to be played in your xbox or ps3 in Hi-Def. But then again, you don't need 256GB to do that anyway. 32GB would do it.
6 64GB Kingston MLC SDDs in Raid-0 ftw!
(and buy lunch lol)
Sorry, that joke never gets old
