After the first wave of external hard drives that meet the USB 3.0 standard, the first keys compatible with this standard have been announced by PQI.
The manufacturer have only announced the transfer speed for reading, but they are impressive and reach the 97 MB/s which proves that several chips are used in parallel and explains its size, 87 X 22 X 12 mm. Attention, it will not therefore be cut out to replace a SSD, the electronics and the management of the chips are less well advanced. We do not know the date of availability of this product or the price of these keys which will be offered in 16,32 and 64 GB. We also do not know if Apple hopes to soon add this standard to its machines or if they will await until Intel does this in 2011.
