BrianFagioli writes: Today, Kingston announced a product that may get people excited about flash drives again. The company has created a 2TB pocket flash drive (also available in 1TB), called DataTraveler Ultimate GT (Generation Terabyte). This is now the world's largest capacity USB flash drive. "Power users will have the ability to store massive amounts of data in a small form factor, including up to 70 hours of 4K video on a single 2TB drive. DataTraveler Ultimate GT offers superior quality in a high-end design as it is made of a zinc-alloy metal casing for shock resistance. Its compact size gives the tech enthusiast or professional user an easily portable solution to store and transfer their high capacity files," says Kingston.

Heck, look at the size of the thing; looks like a great way to stress the socket when hanging off a desktop or stress the socket the opposite direction on any reasonably thin laptop as it props up the system.

  To be honest I don't think anyone is expected to buy it and use it!
  If you look on Amazon they have a 512 GB version and a 1TB Version
  512 GB = $296
  1TB = $2700
  2TB = ????
  You can by a mac mini with 16gb ram a 2 TB fusion drive and i7 cpu for about â1700 why would you spend $1000 more on a flash drive.
