C'mon - you know you've always wanted to be able to carry 54 DVDs in your pocket.
Kingston Technology Europe has come out with a 256GB USB flash drive, which can hold a LOT of stuff. How much? Try 51,000 images. Or how about 365 CDs (one for every day of the year)? A database of documents that, if printed out and piled up, would reach 1 kilometer high? Or, of course, the aforementioned 54 DVDs, though one might suppose that would depend on what kind of movies were on those DVDs: three-hour epics such as Ben-Hur or Gone with the Wind versus, say, the 97-minute Weekend At Bernie's.
The drive can be password-protected on Windows
systems and "is enhanced for Windows Readyboost," which means it has
super-fast speeds on Vista machines. It also has a five-year warranty
and round-the-clock tech support.
The specs:
They're made on an order-only basis, but can be purchased through Kingston resellers and e-tailers (list of places to purchase them are on Kingston's site).
