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.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
    • Arkane, Ninja Theory, and Double Fine might be on the chopping block too.
