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.

Oh, cant wait to get my mits on one.
Once USB 3.0 becomes mainstream on mobos, these will be an asset to everything!

Really cool stuff. First time I even hear about USB 3.0 *blush*
That is quite expensive. Looks cool though.
That's pretty crazy.
I'm for sure getting myself one.
Jesus. That's incredible.
whoa, the speed must be blinding on that
so techie
i prefer diskettes, they are awesome
Give 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)
WOW I DIDNT EVEN THINK USB 3.0 is OUT!!!! GOOGLE TIME!
SSDs are still damned expensive :/
Next machine I build will have an SSD.

Great post. Showing support!

if only i had the money ):
good bye 2.0
I want one, ill wait till they come down in price tho
nice!
Wooahh I'm Totally pumped about this. I had no idea usb 3.0 was even coming out.
Size is what intrigues me the most, some of the externals you see out there for a fair price are just too inconveniently large.
I wonder how long it will take for the 3.0 to fully get accepted by all hardware corporations
Like Acid, I'll wait.
3.0? I'm sooo behind the curve.
