RAIDDrive means speedy business.

not a bad price considering the cost of memory right now! Nice and fast, too.

 

[zoridon]

A fast usb based operating system is finally within my reach.

 

[kittle]

interesting looking.
but I smell a lawsuit somwhere in their future: http://www.superspeed.com/

now there's viable option to run an OS from a thumbdrive...

Superspeed? I want LUDICROUS SPEED! (you just know that's the next name they're going to use)

But seriously, that is an awesome drive. (and the market naming stuff is rather ridiculous, the should just use USB 3.0)

It will be interesting to see what speeds are actually achieved with this drive. I think the NAND read/write speed, particularly write, is currently the bottleneck even in USB 2 flash drives. The cheap NAND and controllers they use in most flash drives is lucky if they can write at 20 MB/s, which is well within USB 2 speeds.

Within a year, prices would have fallen 70%

Is this a news article or an advert?

That is pretty sweet I was looking to get a new flash drive since I lost both of mine, and just by that speculated price the 32gb should be around $90 which isnt bad.

It would be an advert if they were providing links directly to supertalent's online store to purchase them. Quit whining.

Question: 4kb speeds?

Sequential is all fine, but give me random read/write

'SuperSpeed' was chosen by the USB standards body. I'm sure they did their due diligence before selecting it.

Great, can't wait for a real review!

Oooh tasty! It will be interesting to see competing USB 3.0 devices and see how they compare!

 

[monicas]

This looks very promising and can actually become very useful. The way I look at it is that with SSD's now becoming so cheap it makes perfect sense to simply carry your HD with you from PC to PC. Simply plug it in using USB 3.0 and go. Albeit an SSD isn't exactly portable, but it does offer the read write speeds to perfectly match up to the new USB specs.

Can't wait until these go into full swing. Backing up my 100+GB files on an external hard drive at 16mb/s really makes me want it.

 

[jacobdrj]

I want the SATA standard and the USB standard to find common ground/merge. No reason for 2 competing standards. 1 single backwards compatible all encompassing serial standard that provides speed and power should be implemented, at least until fiber optic/powered stuff becomes affordable (which Intel is working on).

 

[Gin Fushicho]

Its awesome... but not very many people use 3.0 , so I dont see the point right now.

 

[njalterio]

I wonder if external video cards will be possible with USB 3.0...or maybe 4.0?

 

[liquidsnake718]

Ahhhhhh more reason to wait and be patient for X58 USB3.0 enabled motherboards......

 

[zachary k]

yea, but can you play CRYSIS off of it? lol, jk. would make a nice Xmas present, so long s i can plug it into usb 2.0 only computers(aka 99.999% of them)

 

[Mardy Matt]

Ludicrous speed! hahaha, that's great. I think then all the thumb drives will come out in one colour: plaid. They've gone plaid! 200 MB/s, eh? That's out doing a lot of early SSDs already. Are we perhaps reaching an end to multiple interface motherboards, instead of having SATA, PCIe and PCI, will everything be run through a USB controller?

 

[wira020]

Hope thats not just manufacturers claims...

The point is, it will push the new USB3.0 standard sooner... if no manufacturer starts producing these kind of things.. then who will?...

Glad to hear USB3.0 stuffs start popping out.. first discrete and integrated controller.. now the device to utilize it itself... hoping USB3.0 makes it to mainstream before my next pc build...
