Flash drives get bigger

64 gigs of dongle goodness
Wed Sep 03 2008, 09:52

TRANSCEND'S NEW JETFLASH V20 USB flash thumb drive has just been released with a stonking 64GB of memory.

This is a bit of a break-through as the thumb drive is actually bigger than some very expensive under-the-bonnet drives for things like the Apple Air.

The drive measures in at 88mm x 33mm x 15 mm, which is longer than your average dongle. It weighs 24 grams and works with Windows, Mac and Linux over USB 2.0.

It comes with the usual compression and/or password protection functions and the company has put up a product page here so it should be available any day now.

Alas there is no word on price yet, but it ain't gonna be cheap. µ

Seems a bit pointless...

...making a flash drive that's physically bigger than the rest and claiming a record on the highest capacity. Next they'll make a 1TB 'flash drive' by slapping 16 of these into one bundle.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
