    256 GB on a pen drive....!!
    This is huge, even bigger capacity than my hard disk! :eek:

    With such a huge storage in a cramped up space, it certainly would cost a bomb! :(

    Wow.. storage devices change very fast this day. I still remember that my first flash drive is 256MB and now it's 256GB.

    Just wonder how much will it cost. I expect the price of this drive will fall when the 512GB flash drive come out.

    Holy moly, I thought 32 or 64GB was the max, but 256? That's more than most desktops have! Technology truly is amazing...

    This is no longer the largest USB drive, I recently purchased the Kingston 512GB DataTraveler 300.

    Well, it looks good but is too much costly.
    I will buy it if I get it at low price.
