Even flash drives are getting bigger and better in terms of performance and smaller in terms of size. 4TB is such a humongous space.........
The pricing is going to play a certain part here. And you will see it in 4-digits easily.
The two key features like read-write can only do justice to the price bracket!
Still will have to see what the reviews talk about this new 4TB flash drive.
