1Gb... any larger?

Serg · 01-02-2006, 02:35 AM

I have heard some rumors about a 2GB and 4GB PNY thumb drive coming out? Has anyone else heard this?

1st rover · 01-02-2006, 07:28 AM

i think the 2 gb one is already on the market and the 4 gb should not be far behind..

i was at compusa yesterday and they had drives up to 6 gigs. it was bigger than a regular flash drive and used a spinning disk.

Yeah.. I am talking about a small thumb drive... in a few years those things will hold 4-10 gigs easy...

I picked up 6 gig my local "Best Buy" a few days ago. It cost me $119.00
6 gig is a lot of portable data capacity!

Technology these days

, I use a 1Gb SD card with a HP USB digital drive as my memory stick type thing, I've never needed anymore than that, usually I only copy a few word documents

, mind you I wouldn't be surprised with these things as usual your ripped off a few meg, eg: a 6Gbwould give you about 5730 meg or something like that.

i think i saw an 8GB at best buy recently, but I could be confusing it for something else. I think it was around $150.

What's the point in buying memory cardsfor 8gb, if you want something that big... why not buy a portable hard drive

felice206 · 11-06-2006, 12:14 AM

I have to second thrawn, I don't see why you would want an 8gb would be much more economical to purchase a portable hard drive - you'd also get a lot more space as well.

oh, i'd be happy with a 1GB SD card! mine has a much smaller file size that i gave up including pictures among my music files. i'd love to store lots of mp3 files in my SD card for my ipaq.

I was wondering why you'd need all that memory in a portable situation. What kindof work are you folks doing on your laptops anyway?

It is nice that they are making technology so affordable, though.

As far as i know there is a 1GB size of flashdrive but the much larger maybe its not yet out in the market, there is a larger that is what you call the external hardisk it can be up to 80GB.

taiarain · 01-03-2007, 04:44 PM

There are 2 gig flashdrives, but you're not going to get scores of gigs onto a flashdrive with current technology. It's a possibility for the future. Remember Zip drives?

loko · 03-30-2007, 05:20 AM

External hardisks can be up to 320GB or more. As for flash disks, the largest space available on the market right now is 8gb. A 1gb flash disk could cost up to 20$ (1000php) right now.

spaz · 03-31-2007, 02:10 AM

The best buy for a PNY drive right now is a 2gb. Its' price is right for a 2gb space. And the largest drive available in the market right now is a 10gb flash disk.
