Kingston 256GB Flash Drive Sold Anywhere but USA
Everything USB - Gadgets, Wireless USB, USB 3.0 —
... to the rest of the world is underway? Kingston has decided to introduce its outrageously expensive Data Traveler DT300 256GB flash drive in almost every part of the world except America. Then again, who in the right mind would want to drop $800 for a thumbdrive that can only transfer at a pitiful 20MB/s. If we were to spend this much on storage, a real SSD with dual SATA and USB makes much more sense, not to mention more flexible. For those who aren't too good in math, Kingston's DT300 256GB flash drive is twice the capacity of its DT200 128GB announced last month ...

Kingston DataTraveler 300, 256GB USB Drive
Ubergizmo —
... Kingston has come up with the DataTraveler 300, a 256GB USB Drive, which is quite an impressive capacity for such a format. That pretty much tops the biggest SSD drives in 2.5" form-factor. Of course, you might not have the fancy controller and you won’t get SATA II performance levels, but the idea that you can backup most laptop hard drives on a single USB key is awesome. The sheer capacity is impressive, if you are willing to pay $900. Obviously, there are cheaper ways to backup, but most won't fit in this form-factor. ...

Gadgetell —
... In case you are not sure how much 256GB represents; according to Kingston it can store 10 Blu-ray discs (~25 GB each), 54 DVD discs (~4.7 GB each), or 365 CD discs (~700 MB each). Unfortunately, high capacity storage does not come cheap, as it is set to retail for 565 Euros, or $924. It would definitely suck to misplace or break the small jump drive.
Anyone want to place bets for when the thumb drive breaks the one terabyte barrier?
