5/2/2006 4:13:28 PM

$2,800, wow, i wonder how long before it shows up on slickdeals for $19.99

5/2/2006 4:40:58 PM

>3 years is my guess

5/2/2006 4:53:07 PM

WOW... Solid statehard drives here we come! (too expensive now, but damn!)

OMFG ... portable pr0n on a stick! Enough to last you on any flight!

Wonder how long before 64GB won't be enough space ... 10 years?

^Personally I'm waiting for the days when download/upload speeds reach a point where it makes DSL/Cable look like dial-up. That way everyone will move to the new tech and I can finally bump up to DSL

k so i guess this want as cool as i thought

5/5/2006 12:58:02 AM

I thought it was 64MB and everyone was just pretending that 3k was a good price.

5/5/2006 5:36:07 AM

it's bad enough losing a 256 MB flash drive...i can't imagine losing one with 256 times the data stored on it

5/5/2006 8:26:43 AM

annnnnnnnnnd now they're like $20.

Yeah, the 512 gb flash drives have reduced from around $1000 to about $50 in the last 2 years and now there are 1024GB drives.

3/29/2014 8:54:09 AM

sheeit mang, I thought 64GB was as high as the tech could go

3/30/2014 4:23:33 AM

i remember when i got my first flash drive, it was a gift actually.

128 MB, and it cost either $15 or $30, can't remember. this was 2004.

^ 1024 GB has been out for at least a couple of years, maybe even 3-4. or if not 1024, definitely 512 GB.

if 512GB flash drives are $50, then why are ~500GB SSDs still so expensive?

3/31/2014 2:07:53 PM

Flash drives are really really slow compared to nicer consumer SATA or PCI-E drives. Also they have a lot more features built in to them. Encryption, SMART stuff, TRIM, etc.

Is not a true statement.

He forgot a 0 there...

ahhh that makes a hell of a lot more sense. I didn't bother verifying the $50 number before.

with that being the case (and checking on pricing for both), the 512GB SSDs are actually cheaper than the flash cards.

i got a 64gb USB 3.0 FAR via a total defense bundle back in november

4/2/2014 2:37:25 PM
