IRVINE, CA -- 10/19/09 --
Dane-Elec, a global leader in memory-based
consumer electronics, today introduced its So SuperSpeed line of External
USB 3.0 Hard Drives (HDD) to the U.S. market. The line includes the world's
first USB 3.0 Solid State Drive (SSD), capable of true data transfer speeds
of 250MB per second. Consumers will be able to purchase these high-speed
USB 3.0 devices from Dane-Elec and its U.S. retail partners starting
December 11th, coinciding with the Thanksgiving launch of USB
3.0-compatible laptops and PCs from leading OEMs.
"The eagerly awaited USB 3.0 revolution is finally here, and Dane-Elec is
thrilled to be at its forefront," said Jon Christeson, Director of
Marketing for Dane-Elec U.S. "With transfer speeds of up to ten times
faster than USB 2.0 devices, these powerful products will be game changers
for consumers and small businesses that regularly work with large files
such as video content."
Dane-Elec's new USB 3.0 HDDs offer consumers several storage options
ranging from 500 GB all the way up to 2 TB, and are available in 2.5" or
3.5" formats for either laptop or desktop computers. The So Extreme
SuperSpeed SSD product line offers consumers a storage option of either 80
GB (Intel M-25) or 160 GB (Intel M-25). Because these devices are powered
by USB 3.0 controllers, users will be able to transfer bandwidth-intensive
content such as photos, music and video to and from their USB 3.0 built-in
port laptops and PCs at record speed, even up to 10 times faster than the
transfer speed of current USB 2.0 devices. Observed data transfer speeds
for the SSDs have reached 250 MB per second.
Dane-Elec will also be offering USB 3.0-compatible adapters for desktops
with PCIe slots and laptops with PCIXpress slots. This will allow
consumers using current machines (without built-in USB 3.0 ports) to take
advantage of much of the increased speed capabilities of USB 3.0.
Additional details about the products will be available on October 20th at
