Super Talent debuts $15 USB 3.0 drive

Posted on Saturday, October 30 2010 @ 12:11 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck
Super Talent introduced new USB 3.0 products at USB 2.0 prices. While these products are faster than USB 2.0 devices the specifications aren't that impressive for USB 3.0 as Super Talent lists a read speed of just 67MB/s. These new flash drives will start shipping on November 11th.
Super Talent Technology, a leading manufacturer of Flash storage solutions and DRAM memory modules, today announced that their new USB 3.0 Express Duo has broken the $15 price barrier.

The fastest USB 2.0 flash drives are limited to a maximum READ speed of approximately 32MB/s. Super Talent's new USB 3.0 Express Duo can top over 67MB/s when plugged into a USB 3.0 port, yet remains fully-backward compatible to USB 2.0 and for about the same price. Starting today, Super Talent will begin offering the 4GB USB 3.0 Express DUO for $14 and the 8GB version for only $29!!

"The USB 3.0 Express DUO is perhaps our most exciting USB 3.0 flash drive to date. We were first to break the 300MB/s barrier with our USB 3.0 RAIDDrive and now we're breaking the $15 price barrier. There's simply really no reason to buy a USB 2.0 flash drive anymore.", CH Lee COO of SuperTalent.
