World’s Fastest Flash Drive

Written by Richard Blanchard on January 5th, 2007. Posted in Apple / iPod, Flash Storage, USB News

Patriot Memory is claiming the world’s fastest flash drive at the CES 2007 show this year. The X-Porter XT Version 2 can achieve 39MB transfer rates. Now besides the fact of anyone reproducing a manufacturers test specs, lets take it at face value – WOW that’s fast.

With flash drive capacity getting larger and larger this type of news is well received. Now, if iPods and PDAs could get this transfer rate then we could do much better things on Friday night then sync our portables.  Available capacities are 1GB to 16GB…what, no 32MB version? – I’d like to transfer all my data in 1 second.
