Silicon Power launches High Speed eSATA/USB SSD Flash Drive!!

A new Gadget in USB Technology!! Silicon Power has launched the eSATA/USB SSD Flash Drive. It is not a normal USB drive. It is a high capacity SSD drive that has external Serial ATA and mini USB dual interface. The company is claiming that it has 8 times the write speed of normal USB.

The eSATA connection offers a read speed of 92MB/sec and a write of 48 MB/sec. It even supports hot plug and play and four channel high powered technology. The eSATA connector can provide the data transfer speed of 3 GB/sec which is even greater than that of USB 2.0. It is very convenient for copying large volume of data in short amount of time. The mini USB interface offers a read speed of 33 MB/sec and write speed of 25 MB/sec. Most of the new Desktops and laptops now contain the eSATA interface.

But, there’s a problem. Unlike USB, eSATA ports don’t carry power, so plugging the drive into just an eSATA port won’t be enough to bring it to life. That’s precisely why you’ll find a Mini USB port on the drive’s rear – you’ll first need to attach it to your system’s USB port using the supplied Mini USB cable in order to power it up.
