Although USB 3.0 is technically still in its infancy, this hasn’t stopped Super Talent Technology from announcing a new USB 3.0 compatible portable drive called the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 RAIDDrive. With support for transfer speeds up to 10x faster than USB 2.0 drives, the new RAIDDRIVE can deliver transfer speeds up to 200 MB/sec with USB 3.0 ports. If you use a separate UAS Protocol driver with a USB 3.0 port, the SuperSpeed drive can reach speeds up to 320MB/second/

SuperTalent’s SuperSpeed drive is available in three storage capacities – 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB. The drives measure 95 x 37 x 13.5mm and are fully compatible with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 protocols.

Wish your flash drive was just a wee bit faster? You’ll want to check out the newly announced Corsair Flash Voyager GT USB flash drive which the company claims is the world’s fastest 128GB drive.

Corsair manages read speeds of up to 32MB/sec and write speeds of up to 25.6 MB/s (Corsair claims these speeds are limited by the speed of the USB 2.0 bus as well as OS overheard) using a new “revolutionary” design that employs a dual controller architecture – resulting in SLC level performance from MLC NAND flash memory.

The Flash Voyager GT isn’t only fast, it’s also designed to be super durable thanks to its water-resistant rubber housing that’s designed to protect it from accidental damage. (one of my co-workers surely could have used that durability recently).

Expect to find the Corsair Flash Voyager GT now at various retailers.
