    Those are ssd , installed in pc
    Not external USB for backup

    And way pricey, can buy a new pc for less $$


    You might want to check again Mr. Wizard, what Dutch linked to are USB 3.0 external flash drives. Yes, Kingston makes a HyperX Predator line of SSDs, but that's not what he linked to.

    Yep, definitely pricey! :E :B

    I expect prices to come down though, as production efficiency and demand go up. Just as the early 1GB sticks did...
  • On Amazon.com, you can buy 3 of the 500 GB sticks for less than 1 of the 1 TB sticks.

    The price will probably come down soon. 1TB SSD drives were very pricey when they first came out. Now they go for under $350.

  • I just created a recovery drive for my Windows 10 PC. I used a 32 GB Toshiba flash drive, which had more than enough capacity for the job. I forgot what I paid, but it was pretty reasonable.
