14 DAY TRIAL // Although USB Flash Drives are pretty ordinary devices nowadays, and almost everyone has one, we occasionally come across some pretty cool ones, from the point of view of either look or features. And the one you're about to see, namely the BUSlink USB Hi-Speed BusDrive from CDW, is one of the most interesting such devices available on the market, since its whooping 64 GB storage capacity is matched only by its price, of $5,739.99.
I admit it's quite expensive, but the device does offer a huge amount of storage capacity (for a Flash Drive, that is), and also some other pretty interesting features, as for example the 20 Mb/s read and 15 Mb/s write speeds, the tough ribbed metal alloy case, or the password protection option. And that's not all, as you'll be able to see from the list of the most important specifications:
- dimensions: 2.54 cm x 1.27 cm x 6.35 cm; - weight: 8.5 gram; - storage capacity: 64 GB; - type of memory: NAND Flash; - read/write speeds: 20/ 15 M/Sec; - password protection option; - supports advanced Power Management functions; - PC and Mac compatible; - interface: high-speed USB 2.0.
This really is one cool piece of Flash, which could successfully replace a hard disk, but the price tag will certainly drive away the everyday users. Nevertheless, it's the one important milestone in the history of the Flash Drives, and will probably record higher sales figures when the price drops to more decent values.
