More capacity means more photos, more music, more data, more possibilities. This is the main reason why hard drives including microdrives are usually more popular than standard flash memory. And while hard drives continue to become larger, faster and cheaper, flash storage isn't exactly known to be an happy hour meal.
If money is not an issue for you (trust me it won't come cheap!), and you are still looking for an alternative to hard drives with large capacity, you may want to check out M-Systems'
latest offering : The FFD Ultra320 SCSI, a Flash drive with the whooping capacity of 176GB in the size of a regular hard disk (3.5").
