1TB flashdrive at CES 2013

Kingston Technology will soon launch the world's first 1TB flash drive, a USB 3.0 device that is likely to cost more than most computers do.
The company said its "DataTraveler HyperX Predator" will go on sale this quarter, and it is for "users who work with large video or graphics files, or gamers who like to travel with their entire library."
Kingston has already launched a 512GB version, which is currently available on its website for $1,337.
The flash drives feature a metallic casing made from a zinc alloy, and are 72mm long and 27mm across.
Both drives support the current USB 3.0 standard, with read speeds of up to 240MBps and write speeds up to 160MBps. They can also revert to the USB 2.0 standard.
Kingston said the pricey peripherals are backed by a five-year warranty.
The current USB 3.0 standard allows for transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps.An enhanced version of USB 3.0  was announced earlier this week by the USB 3.0 Promoter Group that will enable data transfers at up to 10Gbps, twice the current standard.
