Kingston Launches 128 GB USB Stick, Costs $546
I have USB stick envy.

Remember how impressed we all were once upon a time when we saw a USB thumb drive? It was clearly the most convenient and portable of all storage devices thus far, even if it only held data in the “megabytes” range.
That was then, and this is now; and today Kingston makes all of our USB sticks look puny with its introduction the DataTraveler 200, the world's first 128 GB USB Flash drive.
"The new DT200's robust storage capability lets consumers store complete libraries of music, photos and videos. It is also a great tool for business users who carry around large databases or files," said Andrew Ewing, USB business manager, Kingston. "The password protection helps safeguard data and requires no admin rights, making the DT200 a terrific solution for the home or office."
Kingston didn’t reveal the speed of the drive, but did say that it’s fast enough to be compatible with Windows ReadyBoost.
With a drive that big, it’d be a viable solution for a user to load onto it an entire OS, programs and even media files. The DT200 is also available in 32 and 64 GB models. The 128 GB model will be a special order item, so don’t expect to see them on store shelves.
Prices are $120 for the 32 GB; $213 for the 64 GB; $546 for the 128 GB.
What would you do with a USB stick that big?

Porn backup.
Fo sho.
But seriously, 500 bucks? And 128GB? I mean, who has that much porn...?
Maybe a business man would need it for files or something, but I doubt it due to security issues.

I have that much porn...but not that much money.
I though it was a 128GB RAM DIMM. But, how it this at all worth it? I mean, I can get a SSD for a little more, and get a hell of a lot more performance, maybe get an external enclosure.
Complete with this article and comments in the background. LMAO
I have quite a few movies/games/isos that are in excess of 4GB, so things like this aren't too useful for me.
Because this is far more portable than either of those two.
epic
I agree. FAT32 isn't even an open standard (patents owned by Microsoft). Plus it has fragmentation problems (imagine defragging 128GB over USB!). FAT was fine when these drives were simply replacements for floppy disks (it was simple, and everyone understood it), but the industry needs to come up with a new format and make sure everyone gets on-board.
that indeed was epic.
And it was a joke people seriously less with the thumbs down. Internet sarcasm ftl.
It would be cheaper to get an SSD.
