At around £270*, the 128GB Voyager GTR is around £45 cheaper than the GT. Positioned to be the best 128GB flash drive on the market right now, it comes backed by a 10-year warranty.
I wonder what will happen if you try to claim under the warranty in 10 years time
TBH, if I need that much portable storage, I would get external HD. Not that this isn't good, but for the price, I can deal with the slight inconvenience of a bigger device.

As TooNice said.
Obviously, the price premium is at an extreme for a brand new technology and will come down, and come down quite a lot in all probability .... largely because they won't sell many at that price.
But in a year or two, or perhaps even in a few months ...well, if USB3 lives up to the potential and the hype, it can only be a good thing.
I still remember the price premium on USB devices when they first came out, because I had a load of them to review. It was essentially the same story then, and usually is with new stuff.
