and to think many years ago I thought having a 20 meg hard drive was something. Now a 32 gig flash drive small enough to put on a key chain is really something. I wonder how long before a 100gb will be out.

ive heard of terrabyte by the end of 09

ebackhus · 01-04-2008, 03:39 PM

So... I can buy a 32GB flash drive but I can only put 8GB of RAM into my PC?

Anyone else think this is totally uncool?

**forcifer** · 01-05-2008, 01:15 AM

lol i think you can fit 16gb with some mobos, but thats still only half

Geekgirl · 01-05-2008, 08:21 AM

Yeah I think 16GB is the limit for now.....

supermep · 01-05-2008, 04:59 PM

Jeez and I thought the 16 gig Voyager was ridiculous.

**forcifer** · 01-05-2008, 05:07 PM

also with the flash drive vs memory, memory is so much faster right now then flash drives and operates at a much higher temperature, forcing spacing to let stuff cool

ebackhus · 01-05-2008, 07:38 PM

Very true, but I'd love to be able to cram my PC with RAM.

So when are these going to be available in our little contests Jason?

I bought a 4 GIG flash drive for X-mas, it comes with some protection and encryption softeware, and is built for duablity with padding and so forth, cost me 28 bucks...

O remember making a huge decision over a 256 MB or 512 MB not too long ago. And I have to tell you it cost more then the 4 GIG. And it was no brand generic type stuff.

HDs were supposed to release at very high capacities this year before one of the committee members had to delay it due to the process technology needing more stringent testing. Same story with USB-Ds.

I remember when I bought my first Pendrive, I saw 128mb and thought that would be great payed $40 dollars for it. Now you can buy 2G ones for 1/2 the price
