Kingston has announced the DataTraveler Ultimate GT USB flash drive in two capacities: 1 terabyte and 2 terabytes.
The USB 3.0 Type-A device is fairly bulky at 72mm × 26.94mm × 21mm. It comes with a carrying pouch and a USB extension cable to prevent it from blocking nearby USB ports. The drive has a 5-year warranty. A price for either model isn't mentioned.
Kingston's press release calls it a USB 3.1 Gen 1 device. That's USB Implementers Forum marketing magic at work.

I've got 1 tb on my laptop, 3 tb on my NAS. I backup maybe 300 meg to my NAS, not counting the mp3's, which are all on the NAS.

Can you fit either in your pants pocket and accidentally toss it into your washing machine?

If only companies could build flash drives study enough to survive the washing machine and still cheap shit enough for fucking idiot consumers to buy them.

It matters when you are trying to ex-filtrate all your employer's corporate accounts and records out of the building in one go, and you would look silly carrying a NAS under your arm.
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

Have you looked at this clunker though? Even with two or three condoms wrapped around it, it's going to be pretty damn painful when you stash it on your person. Better to go with this [amazon.co.uk] form factor.

Have one and you may explain it. Wearing two of them it's where it may become weird

So it's really a clunky form-factor SSD with a USB cable. In which case... why not just use an SSD with a USB cable in the first place?
