Kingston Intros 256Gb USB Key For $900

Kingston have launched the first 256 GB USB key. The DataTraveler 300 comes in a compact format (70.68 mm x 16.90 mm x 21.99 mm) and has a storage space equal to slimline hard drives. The manufacturer announces a capacity for 10 Blu-ray films. You would however need to allot 426 minutes for such an operation as the key has theoretical writes of 10 MB/s and reads of 20 MB/s. The key is in the USB 2.0 format (how long for an eSATA version?). Another weak point: it costs around $900. This is no doubt why the DataTraveler 300 will only be available as a Built To Order.
