Just In Case You'd Ever Need It..... 64GB Flash Memory

Well, I know some of us prefer to use flash drives to transport data rather then burn it to data discs, but this is the ultimate in flash memory. This is esentially a portable 2" computer. I think we need a flashdrives.freepay.com.....I think this should go for about 100 refs

Except for that pesky physics about how flash drives work and the limited read/write cycles and all.

I kinda meant it more for things like MP3 players and portables since no moving parts mean less chance of HD failure. HD fail too much...

i think i might side with some of those comments... an early april fools joke, perhaps.

thats just crazy.

You heard it from me first

Laptops with flash memory!

How fast are the read/writes on flash?

that's crazy....i'd love to find out that someone who designed those stole it by carrying it out in his pocket. a $5k piece of electronics in his pocket...haha!

that's what i'd do at least....

and ya the flash memory sounds like a good idea for laptops, but it's a better idea for mp3players. take the 32gb model they were talking about....30gb worth of music....the extra storage to prevent the system from intruding on music space....and you've got a 30 gb player the size of a shuffle or nano or something. pretty sweet lol

computer screens/monitors, of varous sizes from very portable to very permanent, with a small flash drive of 200GB+ that plugs directly in to them. touchscreen, maybe, for keyboard/mouse functions, and optional external keyboards and mice.
the screens will be very common, so much so that you can have your little drive with you in public, find a screen, and get on liyour computerli for a while. then you go home, and use your personal screen. friends come over? all they have to do is plug in, as well.

big security issues with losing the drives, though.

i totally pulled that out of nowhere if its a concept thats already been introduced, i am sorry.

The drives can have biometrics easily integrated...

wait...you're planning entire computers for the entire country around a 200gb+ flash drive?

w00t w00t!

That's a sick idea, kind of what I was thinking. I told a few buddies about it and they all said "why would you need a 64gb flash drive"......It's a good question, but not when you really think about it. Copy your entire hard drive on it, and then go to a friends house, plug it into their computer, and boot up YOUR operating system...... Hopefully the price will go down on these pretty dern soon, I don't think many people could blow 5k on a flash drive, but on Buy.com they're sold out shrug

Yeah for 5,000 dollars you can have a new computer.

Or about 50 100 gb hard drives.

Shit
