I can remember my IBM PS/2 Model 20 having an Intel 286 processor and a massive 20mb hard drive. And yes… I also walked to school in the snow, uphill both ways in the cold wintery month of July- we didn’t even have summer off during those dark days called pre-USB.

Okay, I do remember those days, but I thought I was hot stuff taking around 8gb in my pocket. That’s bigger than a DVD, right?

Well, Kingston just takes what’s out there, even the recently announced 128gb USB Flash drive and shoves that aside with their newer, over $900 256gb USB Flash drive. That’s 54 DVD’s worth of storage. That’s 10 whole Blu-Ray movies worth of space… wow.

Kingston Technology Europe Ltd, a subsidiary of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, has launched the world’s first 256GB USB flash drive, the Kingston Technology DataTraveler® 300. It is the highest capacity available for a USB in the market. With this launch, Kingston Technology has positioned itself to be a leader in this high-capacity USB arena.

Yeah… still over $900 bucks though. Ouch.
