USB 3.0 memory with DRAM cache from SuperTalent

SuperTalent was one of the first to adopt the new SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface and it has now launched another memory. From extreme transfer speeds with large files it now tries to improve the handling of small files with DRAM cache.

SuperTalent USB 3.0 Express RAM Cache can store up to. 64GB, 32GB model available, and use regular MLC NAND flash memory, but like SSDs it has a DRAM cache that can improve data speeds 110 times fold when writing small random files.

The USB memory measures 62 x 37 x7.5 mm, but we haven’t seen any raw benchmarks yet, or price and availability. It’s pretty clear though that the external storage market is getting a big boost from USB 3.0 and the maturing SSD technology.
