It feels just like yesterday when I remembered that 4GB flash drives were once considered amazing. Now Kingston is expecting to release a 1TB flash drive with USB 3.0 soon. Their DataTraveler HyperX Predator comes in 512GB and 1TB capacities with read/write speeds of up to 240MB/s and 160MB/s respectively. And these flash drives are compatible with all Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms. But if you plan on getting one of these flash drives, you better get out that checkbook because the 512GB version starts at US $1,750. One could only expect the 1TB will be around double that price which is just outrageous. Down below is a list of the specs and you can check out more information on this humongous flash drive here!
