USB 3.0 Flashdrives?

mooch37 · Aug 31, 2010, 05:20 AM

Do they even make them yet? I'm assuming they'll be worth a pretty penny but roughly what are they going for? Is it worth it? What brand would be good to go with? Answer 3 of these questions and you get prize.

yes.

a lot more than USB 2.0 drives, closer to SSD prices. Many SSD's these days have USB 2.0 ports on them anyway, some are USB 3.0 now as well.

i'd go with any reputable brand, corsair would be a good one.

prize nao?

Yes they make them and the prices are reasonable for new tech.
Are they worth it? Depends on what you wish to do with it. For everyday use...maybe, if you need to save\write a data in a hurry to a small device (Are you a spy?). IMO, I'd wait for the market to get saturated and the prices will fall.
