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. ยต

...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.
