As expected, these USB 3.0 SSDs are both costly and small, compared to your normal USB 3.0 disks. You're getting a 1.8-inch drive in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB sizes for $230, $400 and $850, respectively. Normal folks that only need external backup of their photos and music for traveling on the road will want to stick with non-SSD type drives, but pros and people who need fast drives to supplement their laptops will find these useful. And at 1.8 inches, they're about phone-sized and can fit nicely into pockets.
All three drives will be released in early November. Iomega tells me that these SSDs are about twice as fast as 7200RPM USB 3.0 drives, and 10 times as fast as USB 2.0 drives.
wow, this looks nice !
ReplyDeleteOh, cant wait to get my mits on one.
ReplyDeleteOnce USB 3.0 becomes mainstream on mobos, these will be an asset to everything!

ReplyDeletei prefer diskettes, they are awesome
ReplyDeleteGive it a year and the price will go down. Either way, it will be nice to FINALLY no longer have to rely on USB 2, because let's face it - it's just way too slow for today's needs (20mins to copy a gig of stuff? No thanks)
ReplyDeleteWOW I DIDNT EVEN THINK USB 3.0 is OUT!!!! GOOGLE TIME!

ReplyDeleteSize is what intrigues me the most, some of the externals you see out there for a fair price are just too inconveniently large.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how long it will take for the 3.0 to fully get accepted by all hardware corporations
ReplyDeleteLike Acid, I'll wait.
