Pretec i-Disk Tango is the Usain Bolt of Flash Drive World

There are plenty of flash drives that are fast by USB 2.0 standard, but they hover around 30MB/s. Now, for the first time in the industry, Pretec brings us a thumbdrive that actually maintains a sustained transfer rate at 40MB/s read and 30MB/s write. The Taiwanese NAND company attributes the breakthrough to the "massive parallelism" of quad-channel flash controller, and effective wear-leveling and interleaving.

Like the Corsair Flash Voyager GT 128GB, the Pretec flagship 128GB i-Disk Tango also employs MLC to lower the cost from insanely prohibitive level (but still out of reach for most consumers). The i-Disk Tango is 8MB/s faster than the Corsair; so for every minute, the 40MB/s champion can transfer 480MB more data than the latter. We are certain the i-Disk Tango will hold on to the fastest USB 2.0 flash drive title for a while since rest of the industry is likely focusing on USB 3.0 thumbdrives.
