First 256GB Flash Drive Now Available

"Today in a press release Kingston announced the first 256GB flash drive to ship in the US. This new flashdrive from Kingston will replace the Kingston 300, a 256GB flashdrive sold in Asia, Europe and other regions, and will be called the ‘DataTraveler 310’. Kingston’s DataTraveler 310 has data transfer rates of 25MB/Sec read and 12MB/Sec write speed and includes Password traveler Software which allows the user to create and access a password-protected privacy zone."
With a price tag of right around $1,100, I'm not going to be rushing out to get this, but man do I want! For me a full data backup runs at right around 100 GB, so I'm pretty much stuck using a portable hard drive. The ability to use a flash drive would make the process just that much easier and more reliable.
