Active Media Products Launches 100MB/sec eSATA Flash Drives
Active Media Products today launched eSATA (external SATA) Flash drives that boast sequential read and write speeds up to 100 and 55 MB/sec respectively, about three times faster than the fastest USB 2.0 flash drives. “There are millions of laptops out there with eSATA ports that can take advantage of this performance.” commented Jerry Thomson, VP of Sales at Active Media Products. The 32GB eSATA drive runs $109.95.
Active Media Products builds these drives with either 16GB or 32GB of MLC NAND flash. With no moving parts, they offer the same outstanding reliability as SSDs. “eSATA flash drives are a great storage solution for people who need faster transfer speeds than USB 2.0 can offer, yet still need the portability of a USB flash drive.” Mr. Thomson added. Because many computers don’t have an eSATA port, these drives also feature a Mini USB 2.0 port, so they can be used in virtually any PC or desktop.
