The Perfect Flash Drive for ExpressCard Laptops

Here's another flash drive innovation from Innodisk - the same company that brought us the internal ReadyBoost drive. The solid-state drive showcased at IFA 2007 in Berlin connects primarily to a ExpressCard slot as well as providing a secondary connection via the exposed USB plug. There shouldn't be too much risk in breaking the plug as the drive will fit snugly inside a card slot.

We've come across similarly designed product except the USB connection requires an optional mini-cable. So you there you've it. A flash drive that fits snugly inside your notebook and that also works with the ubiquitous USB. Max. read and write sequential speed are 30MB/s and 20MB/s respectively. You get 5MB/s out of 4kB random read and 10MB/s during 512kB random write.
