SQ Flash Memory Card and USB adapter

Juniper Foo | Mar 22, 2007

This dropped into our inbox from Xmultiple's Drew Stoiberg. The announcement: A flash media that doubles current read/write speeds (32.4MB/21.5MB for a 2GB version) in what it claims is a world's first. Is it even a flash card we're familiar with? Still, at 60MB/s, this Speedy Gonzalas has no match. As a bit of a comparison, standard read/write speeds attain up to 2.8MB/s and 3.2Mb/s, respectively. Good news for those on Vista planning to take advantage of the ReadyBoost feature. As with all Xmultiple devices, ease of transfer is key. Hence, you'll find a USB 2.0 interface adapter that lets the SQ plug into any USB port on a Mac or PC, in any direction apparently, while the Xmultiple ShareCard means SQ users can swap data with each other sans a computer. Which is all very nifty. However, with no pricing details released, we can't say if the top-up in speed will leave us a little slower to reach for our wallets, or faster.
