Guess what is in the air with the USB flash drive thing? It’s Super Talent’s USB 3.0 drive which drew my attention for quite a little time and why not, it’s got some pure reputation of its own. After all, they call it World’s first USB 3.0 RAIDdrive / Thumbdrive.

Super Talent, which has been providing top class flash storage solutions, yesterday, became the world’s first organization to come up with a USB 3.0 flash drive.

Okay, the concept was already in our heads, agreed. But then, did anybody else make that announcement, official? Super Talent was wise enough to grab this chance and exercise its name in the pages of history.

Super Talent USB 3.0 flash drive is a SuperSpeed, USB 3.0 RAID Drive that allows transfer speeds up to ten times faster than USB 2.0 drives. If you are wondering that it will support the long-lived USB 2.0 ports or even USB 1.1 ports on your computer, the answer is YES.

The backward compatibility feature of this USB 3.0 flash drive makes this possible but everything comes at a cost. Using the USB 3.0 flash drive on a USB 2.0 port will only decrease the efficiency of the flash drive, temporarily.

Otherwise, when using a USB 3.0 port with UAS protocol, the data transfer speed can shoot up as high as 320Mbps and if a stock USB 3.0 socket is used, speeds up to 200Mbps can be achieved. A LED indicator inscribed on the drive, tells you if it’s busy reading the data and if the device is powered on.

This USB 3.0 flash drive will soon be available in 32GB, 64GB and 128GB variants and is fully compatible with Windows 7. Price and release date are still undercover. Maybe, they are waiting until the USB 3.0 motherboards crack the shell.

Well, you can read more on it here or choose to shoot some snow flakes hiding behind the Christmas trees until it actually hits the stores.
