512 GB model is priced at Rs 1 lakh, 1 TB will be priced much higher! No thanks, I will get a whole darned Gaming PC with that money!

Great News ! But bad opening Advt. line. Back up entire computer on single flash drive.Really ? Laptop Perhaps . PC Never. 4 TB harddrive seems to be the start now a days with PC. At-least for ones who would buy 1TB USB drive.

Great News nevertheless.

Bye bye Portable bulky drive.

Humongous!
I think, we can soon expect the same in their SSDs.

Internet talk is full on Kingston, saying "World's 1st 1TB USB 3.0 Drive".
