I guess the sizes of USB flash drives you've come in contact with range from 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB and so on. Probably the highest being 128GB of which you prolly never seen.
If you are from the second millennial, this probably won’t surprise you but for those belonging to the age of the first generation windows OS computers, this would really awe them.
From using those 3½-inch Floppy disks which store data of up to 1.44MB, we have advanced to storing a whopping 2TB on a single finger sized USB stick.
Kingston recently unveiled a new pen-drive which can hold up to 2TeraByte(TB) data.
The Micro-SD card and USB pen-drive manufacturer, unveiled the new 2TB Data-Traveler Ultimate GT flash drive. The USB flash drive, offers 2TB of storage space, which is accompanied by a USB 3.1 Gen 1 (USB 3.0) performance. This essentially means, that the 2TB Data-Traveler flash drive can store up to 70 hours of 4K video, 96 average-sized PC games, 256000 24-megapixel images, 166 HD movies and 531,344 MP3 songs. Theoretically, the flash drive offers a transfer speed of a whopping 5Gbps.
It is built out of a zinc-alloy metal casing for shock resistance, and features a similar and sleeker design to the Data-Traveler HyperX Predator 512GB and 1TB flash drives introduced in 2013. It is compact with dimensions of 72mm x 26.94mm x 21mm.
Kingston says that it will start shipping Data-Traveler Ultimate GT in February and will be available in 1TB and 2TB capacities. Kingston is yet to reveal the pricing for Data-Traveler but of course, it is expected to be pretty expensive considering the fact that each Data-Traveler will be backed by a 5-year warranty and free tech support.
The all new Kingston’s 3-inch 2TB pen-drive will usher in a time when the capacity of USB flash drive will only have capacity range in TB's alone.
Already, most laptops sold today have a hard disk of up to 1TB capacity.
