SuperTalent Unveils USB 3.0 RamDisk Device
Super Talent has released a USB 3.0-based RamDisk, which uses the system's free memory to achieve very high transfer rates.
Super Talent has released a new, rather interesting device. The device is called the Ram Disk USB. It is a USB 3.0 drive that is said to feature read speeds of up to 4041 MB/s and write speeds of up to 5388 MB/s.
The company didn't disclose exactly how the drive accomplishes this over a USB 3.0 interface, though we imagine that it is simply a USB 3.0 stick with RamDisk software aboard, which loads data to the system's free memory for super-fast performance. All the data would still have to be written back to the drive itself, though, and because USB 3.0 is limited to 5.0 Gb/s (625 MB/s), we imagine that the high transfer rates are only short term and not sustainable for large quantities of data.
"We are excited to release the RamDisk USB. This product can improve the productivity of those who work with large files and programs by harnessing the power of their system's RAM to deliver transfer speeds of over 4,000 MB/s. The Ram Disk is as portable as a regular USB, giving the user the freedom to take their work anywhere. The Ram Disk provides the power of increased productivity through its incredible speed abilities, which can be many times faster than a SSD. This drive is especially suited for creative professionals. The Ram Disk is an ideal drive for anyone seeking a speedy drive with great performance," said Abraham Ma, CEO of Super Talent Technology.

5120/8 = 640
I don't understand why humanity is still in Base 10. We should switch to 8.
8 megabits = 1 megabyte
so
5000(assuming they use the base 10 giga like they seem to now) megabits = 625 megabytes.
If they are still using 1024(they way that things have always been in the past) it would be 640 megabytes.
Everyone seems to do it differently, just like how ALL HDD makers use base 10 1000megabytes = 1gigabyte vs 1024(what I call the real way).

I know how it works. The original line read GB/s and MB/s, which is incorrect. Capitalization matters with this sort of stuff.
At current, more systems have a USB 3.0 port than a thunderbolt port.
Theres an easy way to mimic this on ANY device - device manager change the profile to high performance rather then quick removal - Windows will then use the ram like this device suggests it will do to "boost" transfer speeds
This is infact all BS because the devices can only read/write at a specific rate, and will always take just as long no matter what you do
The problem is customers/end users will just remove the device mid way through transfers thinking there done and corrupt the files or leave things incomplete (aka its not idiot proof)
Other problems - these devices are usually used by "limited" users - most computers there transferring it to/from will have the OS secured/limited (schools university workplaces etc) so your unable to install applications/drivers to allow the speeds/device in the first place (why otherwise would you own a external storage device)
This device is useless
*Yes this is CORRECT.
That's 5 giga-bits, not giga-bytes. So it's 5000MB/8/s = 625MB/s
(Gb is Gigabits. GB is GigaBytes)
