Introduction

Super Talent is one of the few memory manufacturing companies which actually has production facilities in the United States. This allows them to build and ship your product very fast. Turnaround times of 24 hours are well possible. For example SuperTalent made the USB sticks that were given out at a Microsoft Roadshow in the United States. If Microsoft ran out of giveaways, they could just call and have more available the next day.

Super Talent's DH Series USB Stick has been designed and tested specifically to support the Microsoft Windows Vista ReadyBoost feature which increases your PC performance without opening the computer case.

Packaging

The package of the Super Talent DH Series memory stick is very simple. The all clear plastic package lets you take a close look at the memory device. The back simply lists all the features and some possible uses of the flash memory. The bottom has a white square, where retailers can stick their price tags. The entire package can be hung on a shelf for maximum exposure.

A Closer Look

The stick itself has the same shape as most such devices. Super Talent did manage to reduce the overall size, making it very sleek and slim. The body is made of aluminum, while the cap is constructed of metal. When compared to other memory sticks, the slightly smaller size becomes apparent.


You will find the Super Talent logo as well as the interface and size of the device mentioned on the front, while the back is clean and does not have any additional text.


The cap can easily be pulled off, to reveal the USB connector. It does fit tight enough, so that you will not worry about it falling off. Even if it does, the device itself can be placed on your key chain or lan yard and thus you can only end up with a memory stick without cap. You do not have to worry about loosing the device and being left with the plastic cover.
