Re: 64 gigabit USB Pen Drive
The use of these chips are more towards SSD's (solid state drive) in laptops where they replace the hard drive. There main benefit being no moving parts means lower power usage and lower vunerability to shocks.

32 and 64GB drives already exist i believe but cost a fortune!
Whilst we wait for the prices to come down hybrid hard drives are going to be more common which feature a 8GB or so flash drive paired to a normal 200GB hard drive.
