What can be interesting about another USB flash-drive released to the market? In case of the BUSlink Flash Drive PRO 2 we have an extreme memory capacity – 64!

At the same time it has ordinary dimensions – 98x25x16 mm, and weighs 22 g. The device shows high data read/write speeds – 20 and 15 Mbps respectively. Otherwise it would have taken much time to wait till the content is copied to the hard drive. Well, the new device has one serious flaw – the price. You’d have to pay $5000 to buy this exclusive flash-drive.
