Victorinox’s 1TB Flash Drive Makes It Easy To Lose a Thousand Gigabytes

You might think they only make knives, but Victorinox also makes some of the best flash drives on the market (they're certainly my favorite.) They're well-built, extremely fast, and in a few days might be available in one terabyte capacities.

Yeah, you read that right. One terabyte! In addition to more storage than you'll ever really need hanging on your keychain, the USB 2.0/eSATA II drives will include 256 bit AES hardware/software encryption, and what appears to be a built-in monochrome LCD display. Presumably providing details on the drive contents, and available capacity.

Of course what would a product from Victorinox be without some added functionality? So it looks like the drive will come in a version packing a knife and scissors, and one free of bladed tools so you don't have a terabyte of data confiscated by airport security. Availability should be unveiled once CES officially opens in a few days, including what will probably be a very hefty price tag.

These look impressive, and snazzy! I can't believe how much this comes with, but I can only imagine the price, and I think I'd rather just have a 1TB external hard drive.

haha I like the title. yea i'd be afraid to loose that much data. I always keep my stuff backed up 3 times in case the first backup fails I wont only have 1 left :)

That's so cool how they can pack all that information into such a tiny thing, it's absolutely insane. I'd like one of these, but then I know I'd lose it in a heartbeat so I'll stay away! Besides, I'm sure they'll definitely be terribly expensive too, haha.

1 TB?! Holy electric batman that's huge! That flash drive could store data equal to 3 of my internal hard drives. (500GB + 250GB + 250GB)

Oh god that's going to cost a lot, for my own good I'm now purging the existence of this from my memory.
