64GB Part IV

Posted by: DT : Category: 64GB

The 4th installment on the 64GB USB flash drive features a couple of new brands and several familiar ones (see brands category to the left). More and more, maximum speed efficiency is the name of the game – as can be gleaned from the increased USB 3.0 implementation as well as some on-board caching systems. The most curious of the lot is by LaCie, being an actual SSD drive with “only” 60GB.
