supertalent_usb30_driveSuper Talent announced yesterday the world’s first flash drive designed to interface with the emerging USB SuperSpeed (USB 3.0) standard.

Dubbed the RAIDDrive, the lineup will include 32GB (STU32GSSK), 64GB (STU64GSSK) and 128GB (STU128GSSK) parts. The new devices turn out speeds between 200MB/s and 320MB/s, depending on the attachment method. The product is also backwards with prior USB standards per the official 3.0 spec.

Measuring 95 x 37 x13 mm, the SuperSpeed drive is a truly portable drive. Like most USB drives, it requires no separate cable. It plugs directly into any USB port. Although this drive will work in USB 2.0, it delivers transfer speeds up to 200MB/sec only in USB 3.0 ports. Using a separate UAS Protocol driver with a USB 3.0 port this SuperSpeed drive can reach up to 320MB/sec transfer speeds.

The product is scheduled for retail availability beginning in December.

    It may be portable, but that's a fat motherfucker.
