Kingston is now making the “world’s first” 128GB USB thumb drive. Or rather, the world’s first real 128GB USB thumb drive. Why the distinction? Because, previous to this product actually showing up on Kingston’s own site, you could buy fake 128GB Kingston drives from Amazon and, of course, Ebay.
Now you get the real, huge, capacious deal instead of a rebadged 2GB stick, but Lord know why you would want one. Just how many PDF boarding passes do you need to take to the print shop at one time, anyway?
For those thinking that this would be a neat way to expand the memory of their netbooks, think again. The 128GB drive is build-to-order and will cost a wallet-emptying $546. There are smaller options, at $213 for 64GB and $120 for 32GB, but you can pick up a real, and much faster, SSD drive from Crucial for just $170.
