RAIDDrive means speedy business.
USB 3.0 is fast. It's ten times faster than our current USB 2.0 and it's been given the marketing name of "Superspeed."
Are you ready for Superspeed? If you have a USB 3.0 controller in your system, you can take advantage of Super Talent's RAIDDrive, which claims to be the world’s first USB 3.0 flash drive.
It's fast with transfer speeds of up to 200MB/sec. in a USB 3.0 port, but can reach transfer speeds of up to 320MB/sec. if a separate UAS Protocol driver for the USB 3.0 port is applied. It’s roomy too, as it comes in 32, 64, and 128 GB capacities.
"The USB 3.0 RAIDDrive uses patented multiple pairs of differential serial data lines technology for optimal NAND flash performance. This product underscores Super Talent's continued leadership in USB drives. We have developed the world's first mobile USB 3.0 flash drive. It delivers phenomenal performance and it incorporates our own patented technology," said C.H. Lee, chief operating officer of Super Talent.
Super Talent has yet to specify a price, but we'll know for how much when they release this December. Expect the 128 GB version to be at least $350.

Toshiba and SSDs Competing in a market that’s been targeted by the world’s largest semiconductor company is no easy task. Given Intel’s push into the SSD (solid state storage) market, Toshiba has tried to differentiate itself from Intel’s more commodity-like approach. For example, Toshiba offers a half-terabyte SSD, while Intel’s current largest SSD is 160GB. Now Toshiba is pushing into alternative form factors, such as a mSATA (mini-SATA) configuration in 30GB and 62GB sizes, suitable for netbooks or server boot drives. These drives plug directly into a mini-PCI interface and are substantially smaller (up to 1/7th the size of a 2.5-inch form factor). Toshiba will also be offering similar configurations in a “half-slim” form factor, smaller than a business card, with no actual case, that plugs directly into a SATA port. USB 3.0 Update We mentioned USB 3.0 (also known as “SuperSpeed USB”) in our day two IDF update. We’re updating that brief mention today with an update after a technical session on USB 3.0’s steady march towards actual products. Up to 10x performance increase--480 Mb/s to 5 Gb/sFast Sync-N-Go to minimize user wait timeOptimize power efficiency--uses 1/3 the power of USB 2.0; no device polling and lower active and idle power requirementsBackward compatible with USB 2.0. NEC announced the first SuperSpeed USB host controller, the uDP 720200. Asus had a PCI Express interface card based on the NEC chip, running in several PCs, connected to various peripherals. Asus is also showing its previously-announced P6X58 Premium motherboard with the NEC controller built directly onto the motherboard. The system was connected to a solid state drive streaming data off at 250MB/sec, around eight times faster than similar USB 2.0 products. Fujitsu demoed a laptop PC with the NEC host controller, too. Given Intel’s public roadmaps, it may be a good year before we see SuperSpeed USB embedded into PC core logic. Then there’s the issue of software support. At the USB 3.0 technical session, senior program manager Lars Guisti of Microsoft gave an update on how SuperSpeed USB’s XHCI driver stack might be implemented into Windows. It’s a fairly complex driver stack, given support for backward compatibility, the new power management features, and higher data speeds. Microsoft will be delivering native support for XHCI in some future Windows update, but the timing is uncertain.
not a bad price considering the cost of memory right now! Nice and fast, too.
A fast usb based operating system is finally within my reach.
interesting looking.
but I smell a lawsuit somwhere in their future: http://www.superspeed.com/
now there's viable option to run an OS from a thumbdrive...
NIIIICE
Superspeed? I want LUDICROUS SPEED! (you just know that's the next name they're going to use)
But seriously, that is an awesome drive. (and the market naming stuff is rather ridiculous, the should just use USB 3.0)
It will be interesting to see what speeds are actually achieved with this drive. I think the NAND read/write speed, particularly write, is currently the bottleneck even in USB 2 flash drives. The cheap NAND and controllers they use in most flash drives is lucky if they can write at 20 MB/s, which is well within USB 2 speeds.
Within a year, prices would have fallen 70%
Is this a news article or an advert?
That is pretty sweet I was looking to get a new flash drive since I lost both of mine, and just by that speculated price the 32gb should be around $90 which isnt bad.
Is this a news article or an advert?
It would be an advert if they were providing links directly to supertalent's online store to purchase them. Quit whining.
Question: 4kb speeds?
Sequential is all fine, but give me random read/write
interesting looking.but I smell a lawsuit somwhere in their future: http://www.superspeed.com/
'SuperSpeed' was chosen by the USB standards body. I'm sure they did their due diligence before selecting it.
Great, can't wait for a real review!

+1
Oooh tasty! It will be interesting to see competing USB 3.0 devices and see how they compare!
This looks very promising and can actually become very useful. The way I look at it is that with SSD's now becoming so cheap it makes perfect sense to simply carry your HD with you from PC to PC. Simply plug it in using USB 3.0 and go. Albeit an SSD isn't exactly portable, but it does offer the read write speeds to perfectly match up to the new USB specs.

Can't wait until these go into full swing. Backing up my 100+GB files on an external hard drive at 16mb/s really makes me want it.
I want the SATA standard and the USB standard to find common ground/merge. No reason for 2 competing standards. 1 single backwards compatible all encompassing serial standard that provides speed and power should be implemented, at least until fiber optic/powered stuff becomes affordable (which Intel is working on).
Its awesome... but not very many people use 3.0 , so I dont see the point right now.
I wonder if external video cards will be possible with USB 3.0...or maybe 4.0?
Ahhhhhh more reason to wait and be patient for X58 USB3.0 enabled motherboards......
yea, but can you play CRYSIS off of it? lol, jk. would make a nice Xmas present, so long s i can plug it into usb 2.0 only computers(aka 99.999% of them)
Its awesome... but not very many people use 3.0 , so I dont see the point right now.
You're dumb
Ludicrous speed! hahaha, that's great. I think then all the thumb drives will come out in one colour: plaid. They've gone plaid! 200 MB/s, eh? That's out doing a lot of early SSDs already. Are we perhaps reaching an end to multiple interface motherboards, instead of having SATA, PCIe and PCI, will everything be run through a USB controller?
Hope thats not just manufacturers claims...
Its awesome... but not very many people use 3.0 , so I dont see the point right now.
The point is, it will push the new USB3.0 standard sooner... if no manufacturer starts producing these kind of things.. then who will?...
Glad to hear USB3.0 stuffs start popping out.. first discrete and integrated controller.. now the device to utilize it itself... hoping USB3.0 makes it to mainstream before my next pc build...
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.
Will it be backwards compatible with USB 2.0? Cause that would make it perfect.
Yes it is. Ofcource it is as slow as any other USB 2.0 device, but it's backward compatible.
