1 TB thumb drive for $3,500.00. (guesstimate)
Forget about a price for a moment.
Imagine: your whole life on a thumb drive. Music, movies, photos, personal documents, and such.
Amazing how far Flash technology has come in 5 years. :o

It is amazing that five years has changed a lot. I have 256MB cards from about ten years ago...makes me wish I didn't waste so much money getting them.
Is it fine to use flash media as a storage solution?

I ran a thumb drive through the washing machine a few months back. Dried it out and plugged into a machine and all my files were there. Try that with a spinning hard drive.
I've done that with a sdhc card and a cf card, which are essentially the same as a thumb drive... both worked fine.

In four or five years, this will be $35.00. :)
Still pretty awesome. And expensive.

Imagine your 20TB music collection, saved on an array of these cards inside a box the size of a cigarette pack... drool...

sure flash media is durable but is it reliable for backups?
