The Mother of all Flashdrives


Think your Flashdrive storage space is huge? Well, Check this baby out…

The 64GB BUSLINK USB Flash Drive PRO 2 Series…Yep, that’s not a typo. 64 freakin’ gigabytes. On a flash drive.

Gram per gram, it’s likely one of the most expensive little tech trinkets around. It goes for over a little under US$5,500.00 (PhP 273,500.00, or the cost of several high-end PCs), and it fits on a keychain. It would be the equivalent of a one-carat diamond engagement ring of the highest clarity and cut ?thing is, this flash drive won’t get the girl to say yes. A geek, maybe. But a girl?

Think of what you can do with 64 gigs on your keychain. Oh man.

What would you use 64GB on a flash drive for?

I can think of some applications (like 13 full length movies in DVD quality)- but with the flash drive costing more than the laptop I connect it to - I think my behavior around it would be a little different. Protective, maybe? At best, I can keep my “junk” data there and have the notebook (or PC) free of disc space clutter so it runs faster. But (correct me iiw) wouldn’t a less costly 2nd harddrive on a laptop be better.

I can hear you say “Data Portability” on a keychain. Well drives like this can replace an entire shelf of backup tapes that the company uses to store older information. We have something like that - an emergency tape SET that the IT dept sets aside -that could be used to “restart” operations from a remote location in case the main office building experiences a virtual or actual Sept 11.

Corporate IT Continuity Keychain. That’s a mouthful.

it’s a bit too expensive. only rich people can buy it. even if the price goes down to about 50000pesos, a price of a laptop, it is still way too expensive. for 50000pesos, you get as much as 200+GB external HD, which should take care business or personal requirements.
