With huge capacity, the ED-01 flash drive not only meets the market’s demands for large media file storage and transferring, but also transports the user to a super-speedy experience that every second counts.

The ED-01 sports a sleek contoured design that stands out from its competitors and wins design award from media. It has a delicate read/write LED indicator to display the flash drive’s status while in use and the unique Clip-Cap design that prevents the cap from accidental drop-offs or loss. Besides, made with durable plastic combined with a special finishing procedure, the leather-like texture of the ED-01 is warm and smooth to the touch. Its elegant, low-profile design will demonstrate your taste for luxury and that you appreciate and use only the latest in technological advances.

When the era of USB 3.0 comes, the demands of super speed and huge capacity storage device increased. Using USB 3.0 full-duplex bidirectional synchronization data transfer technology, the ED-01 read speed at 66 MB/sec and write speed at up to 41 MB/sec. Moreover, its capacity upgrades to 128GB and backward-compatible with USB 2.0. Whether data is HD movies, photos or large presentation files with rich media, the ED-01 will transfer and storage large data in a short period of time.

It also passed CE certification in the EU, met the United States’ FCC criteria and was awarded the latest Windows 7 certificate that guarantees its compatibility with operating systems.

This is amazing, estimate cost?

hellrazor · Aug 29, 2011, 06:33 PM

Yeah the thing looks bitchin', but what's the tag?

djisas · Aug 29, 2011, 07:25 PM

I bet you can buy 1TB hdd and an external case and still save money...

blu3flannel · Aug 29, 2011, 11:29 PM

If the price tag isn't too bad, this might be a really good buy. It's shiny, too.

[H]@RD5TUFF · Aug 30, 2011, 12:56 AM

Holy capacity batman! How much will this cost ? $200 + is my guess.

TheLostSwede · Aug 30, 2011, 03:09 AM

Not exactly mind blowing performance...

Exactly, so nothing special in other words. That might be good enough for an 8 or 16GB version, but 128GB... c'mon...

flash memory doesn't have something called arial density, your expecting a little too much.

I think you mean areal density

I know very well how flash memory works, my comment was with regards to the average performance for such a large drive, if I were to buy a 128GB USB 3.0 drive I'd want read/write speeds closer to 100MB/s than 50MB/s, that's all.

Please show me another drive of similar capacity with those speeds.
