1TB SSD Crammed Into Swiss Army Knife, Costs $3000
Nothing says “I’m a survivalist” like a pocketknife. But we’re hard pressed to think of a disaster scenario where you might need a two blades, scissors, a screw driver, a file AND 1 terabyte of SSD data storage (capacities of 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB are also available). Nonetheless, that’s what the venerable Victorinox (Swiss Army) brand is offering, among other things, at CES this year. The memory stick itself connects to both USB 3.0 and eSATA ports, and features a 96x48-pixel display that can help you keep track of what is stored on the drive (and how much space has been used). It's decently speedy too, with a read speed of 220MB/s and a write speed of 150MB/s.
The 1TB version will sell for $3,000 later this year.

Except 3k is well.. you know.. A "LITTLE" too much. Just a "LITTLE" -.-
1TB
so boss :>
orly now?
some amount inflated price no reason, some amount is general need to recup some money lost in the flood.
the peoeple screwing us on the price is the retail
the newer drive with the reduced warranties cost far less than the older drives... though thats not much good news... the cheapest ones with a decent warranty are 450$ but those are enterprise.
anyone know why enterprise cost so much? better parts, better features, or just because they can cost more because enterprise support and such?
that said, i really want to know how big the knife is, how they fit 1tb in that small area, it kind of looks like they broke pcb and wired them together to do it, which is awesome... but still doesnt look like it has 1tb worth of chips in it.
anyone i really want to know the dementions of a ssd chip, the silicon, not the black outside, i want to do the math to figure out about how much is made per silicon wafer, and how much it really costs to make, if its them jacking it up for no reason or if its a legitimate price.
I'd love to get 64/128GB of 100MB/s+ memory on my phone, and $3/GB is a price I'd probably pay.
Really?
The writer of this article thinks that "it will sell" that that price?
LOL
Still, this thing is übercool; if only the price... yeah, we know, it will come down eventually.
