Well, you just knew it would happen, sooner or later! Thought you were all set with just 4, 8, or 16GB of storage on your thumb drive? Think again! Here is one for all of you storage junkies:

5 years ago who would have thought we would need a 1TB drive just to load windows?

I would love one of those to store video on so I can hand it off my clients. I hate loaning my external drive.

Interesting - it does say 256 GB on the drive in the picture, but the product description says "256 MB". It looks like the Kingston 256 GB drive, but the suggested retail on that is almost $700!

Those are checkboxes that the sellers does when they list the item. My guess is that they saw 256 and clicked on it. The title and description both indicate GB.

One great way to loose all your data at once

 

[N1SQB]

That is a good point. I always back up my data twice. Once on my external drive connected to my pc and again on my secondary external drive that is NOT connected to anything unless backing up. You just never know! I learned the hard way unfortunately!

Counterfit / fake

(but there ARE real ones, very pricey)

Interesting, could be a fake but:

The seller is not saying it is a brand name
The seller has 100% positive feedback
And he is allegedly located in the US.

Looks like it did sell for $96

Looks like it was legit.

That would be great for people on the go, who carry around bug external hard drives, but very pricey!

 

[K9WG]

Yes, but big external hard drives were pricey not too long ago.

 

[lycsailor17]

good point they are much cheaper now
