New USB 3.0 Flash Drive Has 2 TB of Storage

Posted by samzenpus on Tuesday August 30, 2011 @01:35AM from the thumb-drive-of-holding dept.

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."

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.
