Rep Power: 1  |  20 GB Flash based Thumb Drive Hi All, Recently one of my co-workers told me about a Flash based USB Thumb Drive of 20 GB Capacity. An argument ensured as I told him that such capacity is not available..flash based thumb drives have the following capacity 1GB/2GB/4GB/8GB/16GB/32GB... To my surprise he bought the thumb drive the next day and the capacity is 20 GB... The brand is Kingston and I have already checked the model and series on Kingston site. It shows the maximum capacity of this series to be 8 GB maximum... I am totally stumped...  Anyone know whats happening? |

Rep Power: 1 | I wonder if there is any other way of making out. It will take a huge amount of time to try and copy 20 GB worth of data on to the USB  Till we find something, will try to borrow it for some days  More experimentation required... |
