Memory and storage specialist Integral has launched the Fusion USB 3.0 Flash Drive. Measuring a tiny 21 x 12 x 4.5 mm and weighing only 3g, Fusion 3.0 is one of the smallest flash drives in the world.
The Fusion 3.0 Drive meets the demand for high-speed, high-capacity storage, in a compact and stylish flash drive. The low profile and non-protruding design makes the Fusion 3.0 ideal for "leave-in" multimedia environments such as Smart TVs, home and car audio, game consoles, laptops and tablets. The drive has been designed to fit easily and safely onto a key ring.
Describing the Fusion 3.0, Integral's Senior Project Manager Francesco Rivieccio said, "The Fusion 3.0 is a conveniently sized flash drive that despite its size, does not compromise on durability or performance."
Speed
The USB 3.0 technology allows the Fusion 3.0 to perform "SuperSpeed" data transfers which, according to internal testing produce read speeds of up to 140 MB/s and write speeds of up to 20 MB/s (32 GB capacity). Those speeds allow it to transfer an entire DVD quality movie in under a minute.
Compatibility
While more effective when used in USB 3.0 devices, such as new USB 3.0 compatible Ultrabooks, the Fusion 3.0 drive is also backwards compatible with USB 2.0 devices.
Fusion 3.0 is compatible with:
Pricing and Availability
