USB flash drives have been around for so long now that there's hardly anything to get excited about other than their gigabyte count. In a day and age where 4GB flash drives are literally being given out on the streets (or at least in almost every press conference we attend), it's nice to see that flash drives have defeated the evil 16GB threshold and have reached the highly respectable 128GB count. The only worrying thing about this trend is that USB flash drives such as Kingston's DataTraveler 200 may eventually spell the end of portable hard drives as we know them.
No pricing details available for these babies just yet, but we are told that they come with a 5-year warranty (provided they don't go obsolete by then).
Comment: Well, if you guys are scared of the read/write speed of it, maybe we can wait for Kingston to roll out pendrive that is utilizing USB3.0

Comment: Considering the warranty period given, don't you think that this new technological leap is pretty questionable? I mean it's from the once latest 16gb to a whopping 128gb capacity, with FIVE whopping years of warranty for a pendrive.
