Rep Power: 2 | 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: 2 | Thats what I am telling you guys. Check out the entire range of USB Drives from Kingston Kingston Technology Company - USB Flash Drives - And the one which I saw was a Data Traveler 101 which incidentally comes only upto 8 GB capacity... I checked the properties, it showed something like 19 GB as available... Last edited by pumbaa_g; 02-11-09 at 09:26 PM. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |

Rep Power: 10 | I have actually seen fake usb drives tweaked to show much higher capacities in the "properties" option than they actually have. but when u try to copy data to it, it would fail to copy beyond the actual capacity. |
