Thecus N8800 NAS/SAN: Quick-Look
After recently running out of room on my Thecus N5200, I again turned to the company for something larger. What I found won't work for most folks (unless you have a rack in your garage, that is). But it's reasonably-priced and plenty fast for most SMBs. Read More

256 GB USB Thumb Drive is Massive, Expensive

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?

Hot or Not? New Samsung and Solidata SSDs
Samsung’s new 256 GB flash SSD is a screamer, while Solidata created a questionable RAID-based SSD that runs incredibly hot. Check out one example of what a new SSD should be and another example of what not to buy in this increasingly competitive market.
It needs USB 3.0
hmmm...dosn't look that big
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
PORN!
Yea, i don't understand, buying a HDD that is notebook sized and runs off usb power, and your good. Some easily fit in your pocket, so this is ridiculous.
... TO THE PIRATE BAY!
pr0n. Lots of it. Everywhere I went.
With a 256Gb Thumb Drive, I would chain it to my wrists (or neck), and never let it out of my sight. NEVER
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......
music mostly. 200GB of FLAC encoded audio sort of eats up a hard drive
I would store my entire pr0n collection. Maybe some FLAC but mostly pr0n, 250 GBs of it.
(6 GB of FLAC)
portable pron
what else???

do you REALLY expects us to believe you have less than 250GB of pron?
It needs USB 3.0
Agreed, Its going to take 10 years to fill that at USB 2.0 speeds.
when will they be USB3? cant wait
Well, I know it won't cost more than my computer; as my build just cost over CAD$5000...so it's a lot cheaper than my computer!
However, I definately want one!
damn..... now its bigger then my external , time to shop for another eHDD.
I would wait 3 days to move a large files and then stab myself in the leg for spending 900 dollars on a jump drive instead on a portable HDD with esata or firewire.
I was just wondering, is it possible to make eSata pendrives? If that would be possible, it will be really awesome!

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.
for $900?
6 64GB Kingston MLC SDDs in Raid-0 ftw!
(and buy lunch lol)
Will it play Crysis?
Sorry, that joke never gets old
Not sure how fast they actually are, but Kanguru Solutions
has 16GB and 32GB USB+eSATA "pen drives":
http://www.kanguru.com/eflash.html
About US$120 for 32GB, so more expensive than the US$900
256GB DataTraveler 300
The article is poorly worded. The writer didn't mean it is physically larger than a HDD, but has more storage space than many HDDs.

Poorly worded? Is that ever a surprise?
Hah it would take about 7 of constant copying to fill...
Put a Intel SSD is an external eSATA enclosure. It would be smaller than 256 gb, but would be way cooler. Would be rather large though.
Is that possible to make a flash drive w/ eSATA?... If possible.. that would be a better way for a 250GB flash drive.
GEEZ! Its not so much USB 2.0 is that slow... its the flashdrive controller.
Lets see... buy a 2.5 or 1.8GB HD external for about $100~150, have 128~500GB of storage thats a lot faster.
Will it play Crysis?Sorry, that joke never gets old
Yes, it does. And it is.
It needs USB 3.0
thats the only comment needed lol
That flash drive has a higher capacity than my hard drive (which will be soon swapped out)! XD
That's 256GB while mine has 164.7GB.
Gosh, I'm such a loser.
