With more and more laptops beginning to offer solid-state-drives it seems inevitable that we will see two things, higher storage capacities and also lower prices. Samsung is currently producing 64GB drives and have 128GB drives that will begin vendor testing later in the year. Samsung has also announced a goal that is to double their SSD capacity on a yearly basis, which means it is logical that we could see 256GB drives becoming available sometime in 2009. While its nice to see the drive capacity beginning to grow at a quick pace, lets hope the pricing will shrink at an equally quick pace.

In the States, you rarely see any giant USB drives, especially the likes of a 128GB or a 64GB, which they reportedly have in China. This person first saw the 64GB and 128GB in a market in Zu Hai, which is near Macau. He thought that this couldn’t be real and that it was a misprint or a joke. However, here’s the funny part, he soon found out that his own dad owned a 64GB USB drive. He quickly plugged it into the computer and he found that it was true.

It had indeed registered to be a real 64GB USB drive. This leads me to wonder why Sony, who had created the 64 and 128GB in China, only has a 8GB here. One of those big daddy’s here would be nice. I wonder how much one of those costs in China. Do you guys think that these are real?
