    As a matter of fact there is 128GB too :)

    I don't see why they would not work but they would probably be a bit slower than usual.

    Of course there exists pen-drives with capacity of 256gb but most of them on ebay are fake,so u shd buy from reputed sources only.

    The highest capacity pd is Kingston’s new DataTraveler 300 which is 256gb.

    For a quick comment about the speed of these large capacity USB flash drives, take a look at this August 13, 2009 article.
