New Toshiba Entry-Level USB 3.0 Flash Keys

Toshiba Electronics Europe has launched a range of entry-level USB 3.0 flash memory USB drives that are two times faster than preceding USB 2.0 drives.

The TransMemory drives will be available with capacities of 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB. Shipment of the pen drives in black will start before the end of June, with other colours to follow thereafter.

Measuring 55mm by 18mm by 8mm, the drives are powered by a USB port and are backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 standards. The drives have been optimised for use with Mac OS X 10.6.6 and higher, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1.

They meet user needs for storing music and video content as well as for high-speed data transfer between digital products. Three writable stickers will be included with the drives so that multiple USB drives can be distinguished from each other.
