Large Capacity, Password Protection on New DataTraveler 200

Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced the release of the DataTraveler® 200 (DT200), the world's first 128GB USB Flash drive. The large capacity along with password protection gives users the flexibility to carry critical data with them at all times in a very small form factor.

It is also a great tool for business users who carry around large databases or files," said Andrew Ewing, USB business manager, Kingston®. "The password protection helps safeguard data and requires no admin rights, making the DT200 a terrific solution for the home or office."

The Kingston DataTraveler 200 features a capless design to protect the USB connector when not in use and is enhanced for Windows ReadyBoost™. It is available in 32-, 64- and 128GB capacities. The 128GB drive is build-to-order only. Customers who wish to purchase it can place an order through normal channels (e.g., e-tailers or resellers).

Till yet I just saw an 64GB flash drive and 125GB is really an awesome usb. That can hold up a much higher amount of data comparison to the regular one. But I found as the size of the pen drive increases it becomes much slower and slower. For example if I try to copy an entire data from 64GB pen drive then the system performance very slow. Does this can be the limitation of hardware. There is also an great need for increasing the hardware performance also.
