Super Talent has announced the launch of the first USB 3.0 flash drive this week, with transfer rates of up to 320MB/sec, about 10x faster then current USB 2.0 drives.
The SuperSpeed USB 3.0 RAIDDrive will be available in 32GB, 64GB and 128GB models and will measure 3.7 inches by 1.4 inches with 0.5-inch depth.
The drive works with USB 2.0 ports but at the slower speeds. If using a 3.0 port, the SuperSpeed can handle transfer speeds up to 320MB/sec compared to 480Mbit/sec for 2.0.
The drive is set for release next month but the company has not confirmed a price yet. You can certainly expect the largest capacity to be over $300 USD, however, with the 32GB model likely selling for $75-90.
