LaCie is touting what it claims is the smallest SSD USB 3.0 drive around, the FastKey. Living up to its name, LaCie's FastKey boasts up to 260MB/s transfers, enough to scoot 1,000 MP3 or five DiVX files in under a minute, the company claims.
"With most flash drives, transferring a large number of photos and MP3 files can take a few minutes," said Luc Pierart, Business Unit Manager, Personal Storage, LaCie. "With the FastKey, transferring small files is immediate. You can back up or share your music and photo libraries as you head out the door."
The peppy device is also easy on the eyes with what appears to be a brushed aluminum casing. It's also capacious, coming in 30GB, 60GB, and 120GB capacities, each one with AES 256-bit software encryption included.
Pricing starts at $150.

That is impressive. But on the other hand, isn't it great that we can continue downgrading to Win XP until 2019 (or whenever it is)?

Installing Windows is already a sinch now, being able to do so in about 20-25 minutes from POST to first boot to start updating. This might make it even faster, since my pc happens to have USB3. Thats all this excites me for.
