The process features a combination of perpendicular storage technology with a new optical thermal recording method. The company promises that drives made with this new thermal assistance could achieve recording densities as high as one terabit (128GB) per square inch. At these densities, a 1.8 inch portable drive with two platters could store as much as 500GB of data.
That is what I'm talking about, I'm gonna wait to upgrade.
Even now USB mem drives have jumped in value with Vista being able to utilize them as "write to" memory.
Yes Sir, a feature that most people don't appreciate enough, maybe because they don't know yet?

Upgrading from that 1gb jump drive to a 2gb? Don't throw it away.
