Earlier this year, Super Talent Technology introduced the USB 3.0 Express RAM Cache range of flash drives. Featuring a DRAM caching system, the Express RAM Cache family supposedly offers exponential performance gains over USB 2.0 drives. According to a press release issued by the company back then, the addition of DRAM caching boosts small block random performance by “up to 110x over USB 2.0 speeds.” 

Now, the San Jose-based manufacturer of Flash storage solutions and DRAM memory modules plans to turn these drives into virtual PCs by bundling Ceedo Personal – a portable virtual desktop solution – with them.  The drive is available in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities, priced at $59, $119 and $209, respectively. The company is charging an additional $20 for the Ceedo Virtual Desktop bundle, though.

“The introduction of USB 3.0 and DRAM cache has created a brand new breed of flash drives which are now outperforming the fastest of hard disk drives.  Ceedo adds value to our product line by enabling customers to use flash storage in a whole new way,” SuperTalent COO CH Lee is quoted as having said in a release.

“It enables you to install and carry standard Windows applications for use on any PC.  Armed with our new USB 3.0 Express RAM Cache, now any PC is your PC.”
