New USB 3.0 Flash Drive Has 2 TB of Storage

First time accepted submitter Dr Max writes "During Display Taiwan, Transcend and Taiwan's ITRI displayed a finger-long USB stick that reportedly offers 2 TB of storage. That's no typo. It somehow holds up to 2 terabytes worth of information. So far neither company has released anything official in regards to specs or a simple introduction, nor does the high-capacity USB 3.0 stick appear on Display Taiwan's website. But as seen in the video below, the 'Thin Card' thumb drive is even smaller than a thumb, measuring slightly thicker than a penny. It offers a minimum of 16 GB and a maximum of 2 TB."

I used to sell floppy disks on the same principle -- the disks really only held 120k, but since the technology of reading data from a magnetized disk scales to higher densities, I'd sell them at 200MB floppies. People would sometimes bring the disks back and demand a refund because they got write errors after the first 120k, but I just pointed out to them that the problem wasn't the disks, it was the drive. It was a great business for a while.

What do you think Princess Leia was sticking in to R2-D2 man?

I think that what a galactic princess sticks into her droid in private is none of your business.
