| San Jose, California - May 27, 2011 - Super
Talent Technology, a leading manufacturer of flash storage solutions and DRAM memory
modules, today announced the USB 3.0 Express RC8, a new USB 3.0 flash drive powered by the
popular SandForce® SSD processor.
The introduction of the SandForce processor into a USB 3.0
flash drive brings a host of advanced features traditionally only found in first tier SSD
products. Now an advanced multi-channel SSD architecture, virtual caching system and an
advanced wear leveling algorithm can be packaged into a portable USB form factor.
Featuring an 8 channel architecture and virtual caching
system, the USB 3.0 Express RC8 was built for speed. True SSD performance comes from
reading and writing to multiple flash channels simultaneously. The new RC8 has 8 such
channels of flash, just like a full sized SSD. A full-sized SSD also includes a data cache
to elevate "real world" performance and the RC8 is no different. Now true SSD
performance can be integrated into a portable device that is both small and convenient.
Super Talent's new USB 3.0 Express RC8 isn't just about
speed; this portable drive was also designed to be reliable. The introduction of the
SandForce SSD processor brings with it their DuraClass™ technology with patented and
patent pending DuraWrite™, which together enhances both flash durability and data
integrity. The integration of this technology makes this flash drive more reliable and
dependable than any flash drive we have delivered in the past.
Kent Smith, Sr. Director of Marketing at SandForce had this
to say about Super Talent, "We are always looking for innovative companies to further
the advancement of our SSD processors and now we are proud to add Super Talent's USB flash
drives to our list of SandForce Driven™ devices that go beyond HDD form
factors".
Enclosed in sleek aluminum, the USB 3.0 Express RC8 is
accented by a translucent blue plastic trim, which also retains the cap and acts as a
light pipe for the enclosed blue LED, making it stylish and fast. Available in 25GB, 50GB
and 100GB capacities, the RC8 will begin shipping June 15th, 2011.
"Super Talent's new RC8 blurs the line between flash
drives and SSDs. Now SSD reliability, performance and capacities can be had in a portable
USB 3.0 flash drive", says Super Talent's Director of Product Marketing, Peter
Carcione.
Measuring 93.5 x 25 x 8 mm, the new USB 3.0 Express RC8
requires no separate cable and is fully backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports, at USB 2.0
speeds. Our Express™ RC8, RAIDDrive™, Express™ and SuperCrypt™ drives
utilize Super Talent patented technology and are protected under US Patent # 7457897.
