Giant USB drive!

This is the first thread I create so I decided to place it in the newbies' section.
I heard that a guy from Greece built a USB flash at the size of a pen with capacity of.........5,3 TB!!! Is that possible? Can someone confirm, or disprove my info?

 

Welcome online. IMO, it's possible, just impractical and not very likely at this time. In a few years they'll be common as dirt. Again, my opinion, no proof either way.

 

I did read an article in a magazine somewhere about how it would be the sort of thing that was standard in a couple of years.

 

About the time they start hitting that size hard disks will be fading fast, unless there is something wrong with the core flash drives. I am amazed how well hard drives have held up technology wise. Faster, more storage space, more durable, and physically smaller every year. The tech that replaces them will have to go a long way.
