Flash Drives Surpasses Blu-ray Capacity


Recommended Posts

Kingston is shipping its all-new USB flash drive DataTraveler 150 in 64GB and 32GB capacities. The massive boost in the USB flash drive under DataTraveler series allows more storage for digital files.

Do you recollect the time when we had 20GB hard disks? The DT150 64GB surpasses the storage capacity of Blu-ray Disc as well. The DT150 is compatible with Windows Vista (no support for Windows ReadyBoost yet), Windows XP, Windows 2000 (SP4), Mac OS X 1.3 or higher, and Linux with Kernel 2.6 and above.

As per recent user reports, the DT150 offers speeds anywhere between 28MB-30MB seconds read speed while the write speed on the NAND was reported to be low by a user. Check more user reviews from New Egg here.

The DT150 64GB is priced at $117 (Rs. 8,850 approx) and 32GB is priced at $116 (Rs. 5,800) with a five-year warranty on both capacities.

Looks perfect for media professionals to carry their data. However, the hefty price tag might make Indian audience think twice. 'Wait and watch' would be the strategy as prices of Flash memory have come down in the last couple of months.

LOL @ the 64GB one being only $1 more than the 32GB.

After looking at the Newegg link the 32GB is only $69.

Each year I seemed to upgrade my flash drive. A couple of years ago I started out with a 256mb then moved to a 2GB and now at least a 16GB for Christmas.

the larger drives are now way cheaper than when the smaller ones costed more.

Man, I'd hate to fill one in one hit. Will just take too much time.

My thoughts as well. Now if these were USB 3.0 the that would be a totally different story. Can't wait until 2010!

Great news i supose,

correct me if im wrong, arent these flash drives great if in near future they get same or better speed than normal HD? I mean, they are silent, and not even close to be as sensitive and easy losing data as HD. Right? The lifetime of one of those babys i read before its around 100 years, hd?s are commonly broken and lost data problems. Another subject, heat? i supose they dont heat as must as the hd?s or even not as close cause they dont have any phisical movement inside witch means no heat. many questions im sorry.

If they get the speed in near future of normal hard drives or better of course my next PC will use one of these babies, like an great performance SSD, im sold. Then USB 3.0 in 2010 and this will be a big jump, maybe in the videoclub you will get your films in a pen quickly transfered in the act of pickuing the movie. It will create new habits unseen as today.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.
