Kanguru unveils 64GB flash drive

Kanguru Solutions today unveiled its Kanguru Flash Drive Max line of USB 2.0 Flash Drives, boasting capacities of up to 64GB with small form factors. The company also announced the Kanguru Flash Drive, offering up to 8GB of data in a USB 2.0 storage device roughly the size of a quarter. Both drives can transfer at 480Mbps while offering compatibility with Mac systems, Microsoft Windows, and Linux. The Flash Drive Max weighs 18g, is housed in an aluminum enclosure, and touts 10 years of data retention. The drive ships with a neck strap, USB extension cable, and necessary drivers alongside a CD containing the instruction manuals. Kanguru's 64GB Flash Drive Max is priced at $2,800 (shown at right), while the company's quarter-sized Flash Drive is priced from $33 (512MB). The 16GB model is $800. [pricing corrected]

Flash drives are the holy grail of storage. With no moving parts, virtually indestructable longevity and ultra low energy operation - what's not to like except the price - and this too will fall eventually. Bring it on!
