A 1,000 GB flash drive? I haven't heard or seen of anything even remotely near that.

Are there even 10GB flash drives?!?!

The biggest flash drive is only 4GB right now I believe.

Seeing as how there's not even a 1TB HDD yet... i highly doubt there's a 1TB flashdrive.

Given the largest Flash drive available is 128GB and even that costs ~$20,000 . You could get nine of them for RAID5 and you'd have 1TB for ~$180,000

 

[ShadowBlade]

they dont even make regular HD's 1TB (10 bucks says i will get pwned soon after posting this) so how do you expect them to be in a tiny flash drive

 

[crazylegs]

Sure i gotta a couple of spare terabyte drives....

let me fish one out from behind the couch...

i'll swap it for 1 of ur FX-475's

I've not seen terabyte flash drives.

However, you can get terabyte RAM 'drive' systems - essentially, they consist of 1 TB of battery backed RAM, together with a RAID array of normal HDs (data is periodically transferred from RAM to the drives, to protect against power failure - and on power-up the whole content of the drives is copied into RAM for fast access).

1 TB RAM drive

If you really must have flash - then the largest flash drives I know of are 589 GB. No reason, why you couldn't just RAID 2 of them for 1 GB. Be aware that flash is a lot slower than RAM, so this product isn't anywhere close to the performance of the one above.

589 GB Flash drive

can you even imagine how slow it would be to transfer 1TB over USB2.0?

 

[minofifa]

laCie makes a 1TB drive,
in fact they may even make a 2TB one as well. although i think i may have read that the 2 TB unit is actually a couple of smaller HDD's enclosed in a case and RAIDed

 

[BFG10K]

Even consumer HDs currently have a 500 GB limit.
