It's quickly getting to the point where you can put the O/S and most files on one pen drive and run off of it. Hell, the first time I tried Win 7 it was on an 80Gb SATA II drive! :? Chris.

2)stupid board died already *pfffftttt*

Yup all they need is the speed and USB 3.0 just might make the OS on a stick a reality. Prices need to come way down though. Imagine changing OS's by just plugging in a thumb drive.


Damn not another PC build!! Though for sure this technology will replace HDD's as we know them today.

Yep, have to wait for prices to get in my range maybe 100 bucks :D Also I guess you have to have USB 3 right??

Check this guy out I got lost here for a hour or so, He, heee!!

USB 2.0 = a rate of 480 Megabit/s

USB 3.0 = a rate of 5.0 Gigabit/s

USB 3.0 should really open things up quite a bit.

That Hard Drive is amazing, an SSD on the cheap. :D Amazing what some people think of doing.


Wow HJ, from 2.0 to 3.0 is a Huge difference!! I knew it was going to be faster but Holly Crap 3.0 USB

is Lightning FAST :shock:

WOW!!

That Dude makes some really cool stuff, like the universal remote that's powered by Magnets. Only. ;) Mice should work like that.

Yep, it's gonna be happening. The next logical step is 512Gb. Then it will be 1,024Gb. They won't be cheap but the main thing is the old style hard drive is on it's way out. Buy stock in these companies now. I get 10% later cause I told 'ya so! Chris.

Re: 128GB Flash Drive? Big Deal, how about 256GB's :)

http://www.techpowerup.com/99701/Kingst ... Drive.html

Kingston Technology today announced its new high-capacity USB flash drive, the DataTraveller 300 (model: DT300/256GB), which packs a massive 256 GB of data in a pocketable package measuring 70.68 x 16.90 x 22.99 mm (as big as a typical flash drive, nearly twice as thick). The package design is cap-less, with the USB connector popping-out at the push of a slider. The drive offers read speeds of 20 MB/s, and writes data at 10 MB/s. The company packs its own data-encryption software to protect data. The drive supports Windows ReadyBoost technology on Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems. Backed by a 5-year company warranty, Kingston is selling the DT300/256GB for 775 Euro.

Gee HJ~

I thought my Kingston Data Traveler 400 was big, HUH!! mines a measly 8 GIG, but @ 42 bucks, and that

was some time ago, today mine is probably a Free gift with a Large Purchase, LOL!! Now we're talking!!

256 GIG whoa!! However for back up stuff mines perfect, example, prior to formatting, All I need 8 GIGS.

Enough room for my zipped apps my main files and folders. (save game folders, LOL)

Also great to back up, email addy's etc.

Nice though. :mrgreen:

The jump from USB2.0 to USB3.0 is actually quite small when you look at the jump from USB 1.x to USB 2.0.

USB1.x = 12Mbps (Seriously, my internet connection is faster. Go and try copying data onto a 4GB flash drive over a USB1.1 connection and see how painful it is)
USB 2.0 = 480Mbps (40x increase)
USB3.0 = 5000Mbps (10.4x increase)

These are theoretical too, you never get close to those speeds usually.
