Imagine being able to back up all the photos, videos, songs, documents, and everything else on your computer on a single thumb drive. Soon you'll be able to.
On Wednesday, Kingston Technology unveiled the "world's largest-capacity USB 3.0 flash drive" at the 2013 Computer Electronics Show in Last Vegas. Due out later this quarter, the DataTraveler HyperX Predator 3.0 boasts a full terabyte of storage—that's 1,000GB to you and me. Those who don't necessarily need a terabyte can get a Kingston drive with 512GB of storage, which is available now.
The device is also fast. Kingston said the new HyperX Predator offers transfer speeds of up to 240MB per second when reading data and up to 160MB per second when writing.
"Our new DataTraveler HyperX Predator 3.0 allows users to store their entire digital world on a portable USB 3.0 Flash drive," Andrew Ewing, flash memory business manager at Kingston, said in a statement. "The large capacity and fast USB 3.0 transfer speeds allow users to save time as they can access, edit, and transfer applications or files such as HD movies directly from the drive without any performance lag."
Granted, this performance isn't likely to come cheap. Kingston has not yet announced pricing details for the 1TB version of the drive, but the 512GB model retails for $1,750.
The drive is perhaps best suited for those who work with large video or graphics files, or gamers who like to travel with their entire library, Kingston said. The casing is made of shock-resistant zinc alloy metal for serious durability. It is also backwards compatible with USB 2.0.
The HyperX Predator is compatible with devices running Windows 8, Windows 7 with SP1, Windows Vista with SP1 or SP2, Windows XP with SP3, Mac OS X 10.6 or higher, and Linux 2.6 or higher.
