A billion floppies on a thumb drive

Submitted by Adam on October 26, 2007 - 5:45pm.

I ran across this article on the future of portable storage. I remember paying $300 for my first Zip drive because it held over 70 floppies worth of data (100 MB) today you can get 20 times that for under $30.

It appears that we are not far from seeing 1000 gigabytes on a flash drive. Let's hope that it is ReadyBoost compatible. That's a joke.

If this helped, consider buying me a beer or an Americano!

What about the 50 terabyte flash drive made from insect proteins?
