Active Media Products have unveiled their first range of USB 3.0 external USB SSDs in the form of their Aviator 312 SuperSpeed SSD series which  boast data transfer speeds of up to an astounding 4.8Gbits/sec (which makes them 10x faster than USB 2.0 based solid state drives) whilst still retaining USB 2.0 backwards compatibility.

Measuring in at a mere 3” in length and 0.2” in depth, which Active Media proudly point out make them smaller in size than a credit card (making them especially pocket friendly), the new Active Media Aviator 312 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 SSDs are set to initially come in three distinct capacities consisting of the 16GB N16G-A312, the 32GB N32G-A31 and the 64GB N64G-A312 and will come supplied complete with carry pouch and USB 3.0 Micro-B cable.

“Aviator 312 SSDs are a ground-breaking product with performance that is eight to ten times faster than today’s fastest USB 2.0 flash drives,” said Jerry Thomson, vice president of sales at Active Media Products who introduced the new Aviator 312 SuperSpeed SSD range. “For anyone who doesn’t have hours to waste copying large files there’s nothing that comes close to the Aviator 312′s speed.” (Except for the likes of the PCI-e based  Fusion-io ioXtreme PCIe SSD, the Fusion-io ioDrive Duo SSD or the PhotoFast G-Monster PCI Express SSD of course – Ed.).

The new USB 3.0 SSDs are set to roll out this quarter (no specific dates offered) with the 16GB N16G-A312, 32GB N32G-A31 and the 64GB N64G-A312 set to retail as around $89, $119 and $209 respectively.
