Kingston Unveils 256GB DT310 USB Flash Drive

Hi, That's a nice product. It is really a mountain in a pocket. WOW !! May I know the cost of this product and also the availability please. Thanks

We are all laughing at the mind-boggling cost of this humongous-capacity tiny pendrive. But I still remember my first RAM memory chip was just 1mb (soldered permanently to a Intel 386DX PC motherboard), my first floppy was a Verbatim 128kb, my first hard disk was around 80mb, and my first pen drive was just 128mb. When that PC with its old components died out on me, it was sold off as e-waste scrap more than 15 years ago. I stopped using that 128mb pendrive long long ago (I think I gave it away to my sister), as it is not much useful these days, and guess what - it is still working so many years later ! Yup, if pendrives are properly maintained (keep it dust free, don't lose its cap and don't put any weight or water on it), they last long, really longer than hard drives, because they have no mechanical parts and need no additional power source. My newest pendrive is 64gb and it is ideal for data sharing and backups. India is the land of piracy, and we Indians are accustomed to copying games, applications, videos and songs from friends and office. I predict that those who think 256gb pendrive is a waste, will immediately buy it if it is available for around Rs.2000. Funny thing is that prices of data storage devices (especially hard disks) is falling very very quickly, and a couple of years down the line, 256gb will be commonly available in the market and there will be demand for it if the prices come down to a few thousands. And guess what? The SSD (solid state drive = flash drive) manufacturers like Sandisk, Kingston and Transcend (even Seagate is into hybrid HDD+SSD's) will be the ones laughing all the way to the bank.

what is the price of kingston 256 gb flash drive

price

Instead of buying a pen drive of 256 GB for 48K,we can buy a vaio laptop with 520 GB storage.Really this a waste .Nobody will buy this.....

invent something which is useful,HDD are designed for storing purposes and they are placed almost permanent beside a laptop or desktop.just imagine storing 256 GB of info and the pendive is lost.i will buy 10 SEAGATE 320 GB HDD instead of buying this shit

kingston is a good company... products are quality products.. but thease data travelers are very slow in tansfaring data .... other company like transcend produce very fast data travelers... tou should grow your performence....

Reality Check. Nettops for Rs. 20K with 250gb storage. And they are quite portable if not very small as this pendrive.

Yes, No one would buy for that much price. For 1/4th price of it, one may get 1 terabyte of portable Hard Disk with much faster accessing speed. Whoever it lags in terms of portability but it worth storing and carrying data. The only appreciable thing in it is small size and due to its light weight it may be shock proof

very Expensive.. Waiting to see this product available for say 2000 Rs. :)

it is surprise news.kingston launched 256gb dt.this dt will be very use ful for us for our trevelling more data.

Very Uaeful But too cost

really huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge price, its not at all worth the money that we pay. technology should bring in new thing which are affordable for everyone and value for money.

nice

i think kingston have already drunk little bit more............remember it is india not in uk.or switzerland

WHAT! 48 freaking thousand? O.O

these r for very very rich peoples...wat abt we middle class ppls?Kingston dnt have hard disks...so why dnt u put a reasonable price for the HDD players like samsung,WD etc so tht they run for their products to exsist......keep 256gb flash drive a war price of 2.5k or 3k

Rs 48K for a USB Flash Drive of 256 GB? Really, no one would want to buy this when the have the worthy external HDDs! As for Ready Boost there are better pen drives for that! A worthless mega expensive product by Kingston

Wow. Never seen such a huge capacity. But for such a price it wont sell more than few finger countable pieces in India. Only advantage is compact and nothing nothing more than that. An 2 TB External HDD cost 13 K
