Taiwanese company introduced a new type of flash drives
I remember on Habré once told about Chinese flash drives with simply wild values of capacity indicated on the case, 250 GB or more. These flash drives turned out to be the usual fake (who would doubt), with a memory size at best in gigabytes. But the other day there was information about really capacious flash drives from the Taiwanese manufacturer ITRI.
These devices were presented at one of the electronics exhibitions, Display, held in Taiwan. So, ITRI at this exhibition showed their flash drives (their physical dimensions are very small), the capacity of which, depending on the model, is 16 GB - 2 TB. I remember a few years ago I was happy to buy a flash drive of 4 gigabytes, considering that it would be enough for me almost for a lifetime. And then immediately 2 terabytes (though, for some reason, less capacious drives were presented at that show, with the statement that flash drives in 2 TB are being prepared by the company for the release). ')
According to the manufacturer, these drives are compatible with USB 3.0. And yes, no more data. Neither the release date, nor the possible cost of these devices, there is no information at all. Most likely, flash drives will go on sale after an international agreement regarding USB 3.0, but it seems that external hard drives and other devices working on USB 3.0 are already in use for more than a year.
To create a new technology, ITRI collaborated with the more well-known manufacturer Transcend, the name of this company is also on the demo copy of the flash drive.
