PQI introduced the Cool Drive U339V, a new USB 3.0 drive that's available in 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities. Unfortunately, the performance fails to impress, the 8GB model has a read speed of 55MB/s and a quite slow write speed of 10MB/s, while the 16GB to 64GB models don't do that well either with a read speed of up to 68MB/s and a write speed of only 20MB/s.
According to market research, systems which support USB 3.0 and desktop peripherals, thanks to their gradual increases in popularity, are expected to become the new mainstream transfer interface by next year and quickly replace USB 2.0. In light of the growth potential within this market, PQI has followed up the recent release of its highly praised USB 3.0 Traveling Disk—the Cool Drive U368—by unveiling the USB 3.0 Cool Drive U339V Traveling Disvsk, the lightest drive of its kind available on the market today. In addition to showing off its product development capabilities and design prowess to the marketplace once again, this is also a reflection of PQI’s continuous commitment to meeting user needs. The latest model features a high transfer speed USB 3.0 interface, backward compatibility with USB 2.0, and even more power efficiency. A single chip manufacturing process enables the exterior to be slim and graceful and, at only 13g, it is the lightest device of its kind in the industry.
And talk about speed! With a high transfer speed USB 3.0 interface, transfer speeds are 10 times faster than current USB 2.0, which effectively saves time by effortlessly storing large picture and video files. On the outside, the USB 3.0 Cool Drive U339V features a sleek iron-grey color scheme coupled with the high quality and texture of an aluminum alloy casing. And with an exquisite brushed surface treatment, the U339V gives off a stylish tech vibe. To meet the storage capacity needs of different consumer segments, PQI offers capacity options which range from 8GB to 64GB.
PQI is dedicated to exponentially increasing Traveling Disk capacity and speed throughout the continuous expansion of storage requirements. USB 3.0 Traveling Disk can effectively solve file access speed issues while still allowing for the enjoyment and convenience of portability. The USB 3.0 Cool Drive U339V Traveling Disk is the ultimate choice in personal storage devices for 2011.
