It allows users to carry around a whole digital world, from thousands of image files to a whole database of documents. Users will also benefit from quick transfer rates and the option to password protects their data.

These flash drives are starting to overshadow the storage capabilities of my old desktop computer now.:bigeyes:

wonder how much that will cost?
we're here for a good time, not a long time- so have a good time, the sun can't shine every day.....
Seems like a waste to me. Maybe if they make them really cheap. Right now I will stick with the old school.
Hard as ever and here to make you people believe...as long as there is one person to hold hope and dream...A GOD...will never die!
I don't think I would have 250GB of data on a USB flash drive, USB devices seems to break down too often!

I'd go for that if it was affordable. My torrent drive is 300 GB, and I think it would be kewl to run torrents off of that.
Are not those drives bad for re-writing all the time? Thats what Ive read anyways. I don't see any internet connection exceeding the speed of our hard drives just yet. That would be amazing and cool though. Click download on a DVD and it downloads in a minute or sooner! Kick ass!
That should not be too much of a problem with these solid state devices. They should be way more reliable than the Hard Drives we have today.I don't think I would have 250GB of data on a USB flash drive, USB devices seems to break down too often!

If you're a student in video animation, video editting or 3d modelling/animation, these things will probably just barely suffice for a semester. Uncompressed AVI's (possibly VOB's, though less likely) of raw footage eats up ridiculous amounts of space. I can see these things being used for students for sure.Originally Posted by Mels_Smileys45

was thinking it would definitely come in handy for school.

Even better would be Vista's readyboost (is that what the feature is called?) where you can boost your ram with a USB stick.
