First Flash Key With eSATA Interface, by Adata
As well as USB 2.0, up to 64GB
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on July 27, 2010 at 3:15 pmADATA Technology launched an USB flash drive N909 featuring with eSATA+USB 2.0 COMBO interface, designed to outperform conventional USB 2.0 USB drives with enhanced data transfer speed. The N909 adopts the 4-channel technology that sets to boost data transfer rates up to 90MB/s and 50 MB/s in sequential read/write performance respectively.
One Choice, Two-interfaced connector,
Three times Faster in transfer speed
N909 is the first innovative storage device equipped with eSATA+USB 2.0 combo interface with a single connector. Apart from using in eSATA+USB 2.0 combo port, N909 supports the easy plug-and-play on compatible platforms and is also backward compatible with USB 2.0 port. In addiction, the combo interface also provides an access for charging via the USB interface which used to be considered as an inconvenient problem on the eSATA interface. Combining the revolutionary combo interface, N909 offers the best solution for transferring large amount of data compared to the preceding USB 2.0. In other words, a 4GB only needs 59 seconds to be read as opposed to 4.2 minutes via a conventional USB 2.0 interface (Estimates are based on an average transfer rate of 90MB/s on systems with eSATA+USB 2.0 combo port and 33MB/s via USB 2.0 interface for illustration purposes; results may vary with different platforms and software used.).
Bringing Fashion and Specialty Together
Fashionable design is also brought into N909, as the aluminum body and the cool lime-green LED give it a stylish and sophisticated touch. Available up to 64GB, N909 is ideal for users who need to carry large amount of data on the go and seek ultra-fast data access via the innovative eSATA+USB 2.0 combo interface with the transfer rate up to 600X.
Users can also take full advantage of ADATA’s free-download value-add software UFDtoGO and the latest Norton Internet Security 2010 (60-day trial) to enhance both mobility and security of their ADATA USB flash drives with just few easy mouse clicks away.
N909 Performance Table
Comments
It's a new idea to to offer eSATA interface for a flash key to dramatically increase the transfer rate between a PC and the external memory device. But USB 3.0 is coming with the same kind of performance and at lower price. We even personally think that the future of eSata is greatly compromised by the arrival of USB 3.0.
