Press Release | SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Overview

PRELIMINARY DATA

Overview
Active Media Products, as a leader in solid state drives for netooks and laptops, has leveraged our experience in making seriously fast SSDs to develop the Aviator 312. SuperSpeed USB 3.0 supports transfer speeds up to 4.8Gbits/sec -- ten times faster than USB 2.0. A312 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 external SSDs take advantage of USB 3.0's massive bandwidth, delivering unprecedented transfer speeds in an extremely compact mobile flash storage device. Measuring less than 3 inches long and only 0.2 inches thin, the A312 is smaller than a credit card and is designed to fit in your pocket. A312 SSDs can save a 25GB full-length HD movie in about two minutes. What used to take an hour to save will take only seconds with the A312 thanks to its scorching write speeds up to 160MB/s and read speeds up to 240MB/s..

Aviator 312 SSDs are designed for external use, and include a carrying pouch and a USB 3.0 Micro-B cable for connection to any USB port. The 312 is fully backward compatible; it works in any USB 2.0 or 1.1 port, but requires a SuperSpeed port to reach its full performance capabilities. Unlike many other high speed external storage devices, the A312 does not require a separate power source. It draws all the power it needs directly from the USB bus. The A312 is offered in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities. SuperSpeed USB is the ultimate interface for moving huge files in a hurry, and Aviator 312 SSDs are your best choice for extremely fast portable storage.
