Wow. The fascinating thing about this storage device is its size and storage ration. It’s incredibly small, but still it can contain up to 128GB of data. Maybe the question here would be it’s price in the market..
So, does Transcend announced it’s price already?

@Web Talk
As what I’ve expected the price is high. But I’ve never thought that its so expensive. I mean, very very expensive. Hope the rumors are not correct, and hoping that that technology will reach my country (Philippines)
Anyway. thank you for the reply

Hi Macobex,
True, the price is high but you know what? I prefer to spend more bucks for a secure and stable storage device (above all with no mechanical parts) than having to buy an expensive software to recover all my pictures from my damaged external hard driver! (it happened to me two years ago)

Hi Francesco,
Sorry for not referring to your name in my previous reply. Btw, I understand your point. Its percentage of having a loose part inside it and other mechanical problems inside is very very low. So, I’ve change my mind, its expensive price is somewhat reasonable. I also think that in the future, Hard disk will be have the same technology too.
Thanks for the good talk Francesco.
