Buffalo with 8GB of UFD storage

Written by Richard Blanchard on June 2nd, 2006. Posted in Buffalo Products, Flash Storage, USB News

4 + 4 is 8 and Buffalo used this equation to formulate their latest USB flash drive, the RUF2-R-S. Without confirmation GetUSB.info suspects Buffalo stuffed two 4GB flash chips into their thumb drive to push the limit of UFDs as the leading memory developer and patent holder on Flash Drives, M-Systems, has not announced an 8GB capacity memory module. Measuring 19 x 91 x 14mm, and a feather-light 20 grams, this guy wont drag you down. Obviously, this unit is USB 2.0 compatible, and Buffalo is reporting a write speed of 32MB/sec, with read speeds not far behind at 27MB/sec. A product release date or price has not yet slithered out of the corporate office, but when it does – we’ll let you know.
