How about keeping 1TB storage device in your pocket???? Kingston makes it possible with 1TB USB 3.0 Flash Drive.
The big announcement from Kingston at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show was the unveiling of a 1TB USB 3.0 flash drive— the first of its kind — giving specialists a new tool to transfer large data files quickly, and pushing the envelope for flash storage.
Kingston hasn’t officially announced a price for the new yet, but with its already-released 512GB model retailing at $1750, the rumors are pointing toward something greater than $3000 when it releases later this financial quarter.
Such a high initial price could limit the new drive to a niche market for professionals like video editors or graphic artists who would actually use such large storage capacities, as a typical consumer can find portable hard drives with more capacity for cheaper. With 240MB/s read and 160MB/s write speeds rivaling those of SSD storage, however, the drive could prove truly useful to those specialists.
Kingston technically wasn’t the first attempt at a 1TB thumb drive; Swiss Army Knife makerVictorinox announced a similar 1TB drive last year, but among a number of softwareproblems the product has yet to materialize.
With flash memory getting more and more affordable, high-capacity storage devices like Kingston’s USB drive could be more common in the future. Flash storage, known for its reliability, might also be attractive for consumers wary of security and dependability issues with cloud storage services.
