With 200MB/sec read and 100 MB/sec write speeds, the UE700 outperforms the vast majority of USB flash drives available on the market today. The improved transfer speed of the UE700 arrives at an opportune time, with USB flash drives being called on to store and deliver personal media content of higher quality and file size than ever before.

Design-wise, the slim UE700 delivers the style and symmetry that consumers have come to expect from ADATA. The brushed aluminum surface highlights the sleek concentric lines that emanate from the blue LED indicator. The retractable USB connector design not only brings convenience of use, but also keeps the connector protected inside the drive body when not in use. An integral loop allows for easy attachment to a lanyard or keychain.

adata_premier_sdxc.pngADATA Technology, a leading manufacturer of high-performance DRAM modules and NAND Flash storage application products, today introduced its Premier series SDHC, SDXC and microSDHC, microSDXC memory cards, all of which implement the UHS-I U1 (compatible with SDA 2.0 speed Class 10) specification. The new cards are designed especially to economically meet the performance needs of the most commonly used portable electronics.

With the increasing expectations for smart phones and tablet computers to handle high definition media recording and playback, the memory cards used with these devices require higher read and write speeds than ever before. The Premier series targets those who are looking for a cost-effective entry solution to extend their device’s capacity and speed.

The new Premier SDHC and SDXC memory cards are an economical option for those looking to utilize the speed of the UHS-I UI standard, with price points comparable to older class 10 cards. 64GB sequential read and write speeds are as high as 50 and 33 MB/second respectively, and random read and write IOPS are 1300 and 100. These transfer speeds allow the Premier series to easily handle the vast majority of processing and storage tasks required by today’s digital cameras.

Spring is in the air! PQI is launching a new, specially designed “Springtime Afternoon Tea” range of PQI Macaron USB flash drives to match the season. These new flash drives feature a full, rounded shape, and are available in a range of four pastel colors: yellow, blue, purple and pink. Resembling a sweet macaron confectionery, they look good enough to eat, and evoke a sense of enjoying afternoon tea in early spring. PQI’s patented COB (Chip On Board) technology ensures that these devices are kept small and lightweight; they are also water-resistant, dust-resistant, shock-resistant and impact-resistant.

PQI’s Macaron USB flash drives are ideal for storing your precious photos, files, music and videos. When you are not using the drive, you can insert it into the Macaron-shaped cover, and then attach it to your mobile phone or audio player headphone jack using the lanyard accessory provided; besides making an attractive mobile phone “lanyard ornament,” it also functions as a dust-cover for your mobile phone earphone jack. The drives can be attached to the 3.5mm earphone jack of a smartphone, iPhone, iPad, iPod, MP3 player etc., helping to keep water and dirt out of the jack. This multifunction device overturns preconceptions about cold, boring electronics devices. Who could resist it?
