    Imagine being able to back up your entire music or picture collection on a single usb pen drive... Awesome stuff.

    Price is silly though, but it will come down in price over time...

    it would be way too expensive for a flash pen drive i would say.

    Remarkable, yes. Awesome? No. You can buy 2 64GB USB drives for £70 less - based on the size of this monster they wouldn't take up any more space and you can do a lot with £70...!

    The real problem for this drive is that USB 2.0 just can't keep up so it ends up betwixt and between - a high capacity drive that is crippled by an aging interface. It'd be like buying a new motherboard and processor, then installing your OS on an old 60GB IDE hard drive...
