For the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show, Kingston has announced a 2 TB Flash Drive.

Didn't think we would get this for another 3 years.  It's now a month away, but it'll be expensive.  I'll wait for a price drop myself.  A big one.

Wow nine hundred dollars is a ton of money for this thing. But it's still pretty cool tho.

External hard drives are so small and portable nowadays, I'm not sure why you wouldn't just use one of those for a fraction of the price if you desperately needed a flash drive of this size.

That being said, progress for progress' sake is always a cause I can get behind.

That's a good idea you said and it's a bit cheaper alarm

Yeah, I just got a 4TB external harddrive about a month ago for around $110. Much better value right now. It's gonna be good for storing lots of recordings for my let's play videos, and also storing more games and stuff. :)

Maybe Down the road I'll pick one of these up for my computer. Maybe it will come in a handy.
