It's been relatively easy for awhile to get a solid-state drive with 2TB
or more of storage -- if you've been willing to buy a large PCI Express card, that is.
Foremay is bringing that kind of capacity to a more portable form. It claims
that both its TC166 (for end users) and SC199 (industrial) drives are the first
to stuff 2TB of flash memory into a 2.5-inch SATA enclosure.

The 9.5mm
thickness should let them fit into many laptop hard drive bays and
space-sensitive machinery without having to give up all those valuable extra
bytes. Before reaching for a credit card, however, we'd warn that there aren't
many details so far -- we don't know the performance, or how much it costs to
buy either model. We've reached out and will get back if there's firmer
details, but at least corporate customers who want speed and ample storage in
one drive will be glad to hear that Foremay's new SSDs are already in mass production. [Engadget]
Now that's a lot of space, at what cost? Considering the cheapest 30Gb SSD will set you back £50, 2Tb should be about £2000
