EDGE Says Colossal 32GB Thumbdrive Now 'Affordable'

It's not the first time I've seen a 32GB thumbdrive, which is seen as a publicity stunt by the PRs to attract more attention for their company in the blogsphere. Toshiba plans to ship its TransMemory 32GB USB drive this X'mas for 80,000 yen ($700). The jaw-dropping price puts it out of reach for almost everyone.

Now, EDGE Tech is bringing yet again a 32GB thumbdrive that costs just $399.95, which they believe it's a bargain compared to other colossal drives. The company isn't very forth-coming with the speed though. The encryption software, CyptArchiver, can only protect up to 25MB of data per file. Full version can encrypt up to 20GB at a time. The drive itself isn't much to look at, but EDGE makes up with a lifetime warranty. Before 32GB hits below $200, I'm happy with my Corsair GT.
