The Chinese storage manufacturer ORICO has just released its UE3 and UF3 series USB3.0 Flash Drives, offering transfer rates up to 5Gbps, yet still backward compatible with USB2.0 at 480Mbps.
Advanced Intel SLC flash memory is used on UE3 to enable super performance and stability. Write/Read up to 160MBps/150MBps.

I got the oppertunity to test it, you will need native USB3.0 port on the motherboard to reach this speed here. PCIe USB3.0 expansion card gets about 20% lower than this.
Aluminum and engineering plastic enclosure offers durability and a sense of quality.
UE3 comes in 16GB and 32GB
One good design about these two series is that they use magnetic cap design which is quite cool.

here's their UF3 series. Capacity ranges from 8GB all the way up to 128GB.

from their Chinese retail website, 8GB and 16GB version can do 30MBps write and 70MBps read. 32-128GB can do 50MBps write and 110MBps write.
It's pretty good to have those things these days.
