Kingston to release 2TB flash drive

Post by Isgrimnur »

PC World
After debuting the 1 TB Kingston DataTraveler HyperX Predator USB 3.0 flash drive last year, Kingston has one-upped itself with the DataTraveler Ultimate Generation Terabyte, a similar USB 3.0 flash drive with capacities of up to two terabytes, using a USB 3.1 interface.

As you can see from the picture above, the Ultimate Generation Terabyte is a monster, as the key itself dwarfs the USB connector. All told, it measures 72mm x 26.94mm x 21mm (that's 2.83 inches by 1 inch by 0.83 inches).
...
Kingston isn’t divulging a price for the new drive, though we can discern some clues from its last-generation drive. The DataTraveler HyperX Predator ships in two capacities: $295.59 for the 512 GB version, and a whopping $2,730 for the 1 TB version. (Both prices come from Amazon; Kingston doesn’t list any prices for the drive on its own website.) It’s reasonable, then, to assume that Kingston will charge much, much more than $2,730 for the new 2 TB model, and it’s possible that the price could even double to $5,500 because of the sheer novelty of the product.

But really, who cares? You’ve got 2 terabytes in your pocket.
Out of stock, but Newegg had the 1TB for $1,276.05.
It's almost as if people are the problem.

I will wait until they are $50.

Is that a Kingston DataTraveler HyperX Predator in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
