for multi-booting all those live distros! OK, I'm exaggerating, a bit... the 512 GB one is probably plenty big enough (and a little more affordable) :-P |

It's $1750 today but in a couple of years it will probably be $17.50. |

> it will probably be $17.50 Remember when 64MB thumb drives were amazing? |

Check the fine print on reliability and longevity when it finally arrives. SemiAccurate has this on looming issues: http://semiaccurate.com/2012/11/27/lsi-talks-about-future-fl... Making what amounts to microscopic sample-and-holds is tricky. |

Yumi (http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/) can put something like a dozen or more on an 8GB drive. I'd think you could probably do 20 or more on a 16GB drive. That would mean something like 80 on a 64GB. It's only problem is it's Windows only. |

On a slightly more practical note: OWC is readying a 2TB, 3.5-inch form-factor workstation SSD for 2013 |
