It somehow holds up to 2 terabytes worth of information.So far neither company has released anything official in regards to specs or a simple introduction, nor does the high-capacity USB 3.0 stick appear on Display Taiwan's website. But as seen in the video below, the "Thin Card" thumb drive is even smaller than a thumb, measuring slightly thicker than a penny. It offers a minimum of 16 GB and a maximum of 2 TB.

Only one problem of course is that it would take

2TB = 2000000 MB / 400 MB/s (max transfer rate) / 60 sec/min = 83 min to fill it.

This is only in theory, of course, because the transfer rate is never that high.
