SAN JOSE, CA—Touting it as the perfect solution for conveying enormous quantities of computer files over farmlands and dirt roads, Western Digital introduced a SanDisk flash wheelbarrow Thursday for hauling 5,000 terabytes of data. “With durable wood handles and a sturdy tire for navigating uneven terrain, the SanDisk flash wheelbarrow makes transporting heaps of data easy and pain-free,” said Western Digital CEO David Goeckeler, who noted that the USB-compatible device’s capacity was nearly 10 times that of the company’s SanDisk flash bindle. “When a memory card just won’t cut it, turn to the SanDisk flash wheelbarrow, which can hold the equivalent of 100 million songs or, alternatively, 20 billion high-resolution jpegs of cow manure.” At press time, Goeckeler confirmed that a SanDisk flash tractor was in development for hauling data servers.
