In what is best described as a flash memory willy-waving demo, Kingston has unveiled a 1TB USB thumbdrive -- that's over a thousand gigabytes on your keyring.
The enormous memory inside the relatively compact USB stick will come at a considerable price. Although a figure hasn't yet been set by Kingston, a 512GB stick that will launch in March will have a $1,700 (£1,000) sticker on it. You might want to double that figure for safe measure if a 1TB model seems like your sort of investment.
The drive is lightweight and felt extremely robust when we got hands-on time at CES. It uses USB 3.0 connectivity and Kingston promises read speeds of up to 240Mbps and write speeds up to 160Mbps.
No release date has yet been set for the 1TB HyperX Predator drive, but a Q1 2013 release has been suggested by the company.
Pardon us while we auction our kidneys here in Vegas in order to put down a deposit.
