Super Talent USB 3.0 RAIDDrive is Super Fast

[anamaniac]

Nice and all.
However, it is quite pricey (there's cheaper solid state drives available at the same capacity).
I remember reading a article once about a guy doing a USB RAID... it was doable, but was riddled with problems and performance flaws... I hope this does a lot better.

Why use a single 64GB when you can sue two 32GB?
I'd think the only difference would be the controller anyways.
Now we just need SSDs that utilize every memory chip independantly for better performance... (maybe even run a dual sided RAM DIMM in dual channel mode on its own, making 4GB modules feasible).

Will it be backwards compatible with USB 2.0? Cause that would make it perfect.

The increased throughput is much needed and appreciated. This is going to be a blessing when moving huge data files around on my externals... Price though is probably not going to be cheap. Lets see a usb3.0 raid setup!

What would happen if you connect the USB drive to a USB2 port?
How much would the speed be affected?

I'm looking for a bootable USB stick fast enough to run an OS from, and because SLC chips are too expensive, the only solution I know now is a fast MLC USB2 stick.
Good enough to run Ubuntu, and XP, though be it a bit slow when writing and reading is done at the same time.

Too expensive for normal user.

Yes it is. Ofcource it is as slow as any other USB 2.0 device, but it's backward compatible.

OMG, i still with a WD 320GB external HDD. Just I have wait till see the prices and buy one.

A little expensive, but me wants

Yes but what is the write speed?

Good News to some of the questions asked above:

1) Yes, it is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1.

2) It is full-duplex, which means it can READ and WRITE at the same time.
