USB 3.0 Express RC4 & RC8 Drives for Windows To Go
Windows To Go Quick Overview
With USB 3.0 becoming more prominent in the industry, external flash drives
can now funcon at unprecedented speeds blurring the line between internal
and external storage.
The Express RC8 reaches 270 MB/s read speeds, which is beer than internal
and external hard drives and comparable to solid state drives. The eight
channel architecture and DRAM caching system excels in USB 3.0 by elevang
small block performance while improving large block read and writes.
Being backward compable, the design opmizes USB 2.0 connecons as well.
The Express RC8 is USB powered unlike some external drives, has read/write
speeds that rival solid state drives, and is the size of a USB flash drive, which
is smaller than hard drives and solid state drives. This is a significant leap
forward that will change how we perceive and choose storage soluons.
