USB 3.0 and Solid-State flash memory drives are a match made in heaven. Freed from our conventional notions of spinning -platter drives, 'Backup Drives' no longer need to be slabs of storage the size of a book or deck of cards. Here, SuperSpeed USB3 keychain drives that blow the roof off of previous USB2 generation flash drives.
USB 3.0 SSD Flash Drive
Quad-Channel Technology
With a single-chip USB 3.0 flash memory controller with Quad-Channel technology, the Patriot Supersonic USB 3.0 thumb-drive delivers sequential read performance at speeds up to 100MB/s and up to 70MB/s sequential write speeds - cleanly outperforming external spinning platter hard drive backup solutions.

The top-end models of the OCZ Enyo USB 3.0 SSD
clock at a maximum of 260MB/s read and 200MB/s write. Pretty impressive. Do note though - and this is common with any SSD - larger size drives perform better than smaller models. Why? Because of having more data channels and multiple banks of NAND MLC flash to access simultaneously. With solid-state drives, bigger IS better, the smallest 64GB model of the Enyo line does 135MB/s read - but only 40MB/s writes. So if you can, buy up to the128 or 256GB models - they're better matched to the performance USB3 can deliver.

Version 3.0 of the Universal Serial Bus interface is also called 'SuperSpeed' - But its arrival has been anything but speedy. The delays aren't for lack of products; there's expansion cards, cables, SuperSpeed hubs and external hard drives for USB3 now available. We're just waiting for Intel to OEM logic boards - and Apple computer to formally start shipping products with USB 3 ports built-in to trigger truly wide-spread adoption of USB 3.0.
The benefits of USB3 are compelling for consumers, starting with potentially up to 10 times the data transfer speeds over USB 2.0. The timing is right: flash memory speeds and SSD disk drive performance are beginning to exceed the limits of the SATA II and eSATA drive specifications. Externally, USB3 SuperSpeed is the answer. Internally, the move towards 6Gbps SATA III is well underway.
Backwards compatibility with legacy USB 2.0 ports and devices will help make the transition to USB 3 peripherals smoother. At the computer end, the same rectangular port hasn't changed in physical dimension, but more signal pins will be detected and used for higher-speed SuperSpeed data transfers.
