If the speed is there i might grab myself one

I think not a big improvement for real use. Benchmark plz.

I could try to get one of those now and be ahead of technology, though I wonder, How many Colleges/universities, non-computer savvy friends, etc. have already a laptop / desktop with USB 3.0. And I rather see benchmarks first that prove the boost of USB 2.0 before spending >129 dollars on an USB...Still capacity is pretty impresive.

Interesting...I'd love to see this tested with Readyboost, seems to be a perfect match for it.

too bad windoze wont boot off(install to) a usb drive? or did they fix that?

 

[Gin Fushicho]

Yeah, for that price, benchmarks please.

 

[eddieroolz]

Good advance in technology. I'll wait until it filters down though.

 

[dEAne]

Nice one.

If you're going to shell out $100 for a USB flash drive for READY BOOST, you might as well spend that money and pop in some RAM instead.

Not much cheaper than a decent SSD (heck, you might even be able to find a SSD cheaper than the 64GB version)... Yeah, they're thumb drives and portable, but I'd rather upgrade my system's "speed" with a SSD, rather than a thumb drive using ready boost.

EXACTLY! 4 gigs of DDR3 memory is going for $100 on Newegg. Besides, do you need anymore than 4-6 gigs of memory at this point?

Looks pretty classy. My only reservation is the fact that 2 out of the 3 supertalent products I have owned failed rather quickly... They don't get my vote for reliability/quality

Please test this, along with others like it (i.e. A-DATA AN005-16G-CGY). I'm about to build a killer machine with two SSDs in RAID 0 and this would seem to be ideal for a ReadyBoost drive.

Good for hosting an OS on?
