Amazing Fudgee !
Please contact Kingston Technologies! It is important. They are not aware of manufacturing a DT310/512GB flash drive!
They need to update their product catalogue, update all of their international sites and issue a news bulletin immediately!
This is an important news flash, Fudgee as it is the first 512GB flash pendrive available to consumers.
Why have they not broadcasted? Let the world know about this?
