We'd be stretching things ever-so-slightly if we said Kanguru's newest e-Flash drive was just a wee bit behind schedule, but at least the unit -- which was originally slated for a January release -- is finally real. If you'll recall from last year, this dual-sided drive includes a USB 2.0 connector for mass compatibility and a powered eSATA port for blazing performance. Until now, however, you've had to deal with capacities of 32GB and smaller, but the new 64GB iteration changes all that for good. Too bad there's nary a mention of this thing's MSRP, but we'd go ahead and brace for the worst if we were you.[Via HotHardware]
Say What! They have e-sata connections on flash drives now.
HOLY JUPITER BATMAN....JIMMY IS STUCK IN THE WELL...

I'd order one of these just to plug both ends into my PC to see whats happens
"Snake, you can't do that! The future will be changed! You'll create a Time Paradox!"
I'm trying to grasp how you'd do that. Unless you plugged one end into a extension/hub and the other end directly into a usb port on the computer. Or if you combined two computers to make forbiddon computer love. Shame on you!
1.21 Gigawatts!!??
haha. I'd guess the controller can only do one connection at a time. It's not built to be used that way. (try that with a hard drive with eSATA and USB interfaces, I bet it doesn't work. It'll only connect to the first interface you connect to.)
It's actually designed to use both plugs at the same time. The USB port is required for power when using a non-powered eSATA port. If using a power-over-eSATA port and USB it probably just disables one power source.
Its Jigawatts
argh! Finally out, but USB 3.0 is right around the corner.
I can see one use for this... a portable OS. The HAL would have a fit every time you boot to a new machine, but it would be cool if you work with lots of machines with similar hardware.
The HAL would only have a fit if you use the wrong OS.
Wow, 17 comments without "I can finally store all my pr0n on a thumb drive!"
I guess 64GB is not enough?
how is this different from an ssd if it has eSATA..........excuse me for being such a noob:)
The price.
Various manufacturers and controller makers already have a whole productline on powerpoints using USB3, so that's the thing to look out for because the already set up the whole pipeline and process to flood us with that.
