SuperSpeed USB is here, you can touch it, buy it and USE it, but where are our USB 3.0 thumb drives? Super Talent has revealed another slim uber-fast flash drive for our portable pleasure in the near future. The drive is being released in two line-ups. The first will be the consumer models, the SuperCrypt, available in sizes from 16GB to 256GB. The second is the more prosumer variation starting a 32GB up to the same 256GB, the SuperCrypt Pro.

Both lineups are equipped with serious hardware-based encryption built into their tiny chassis. The SuperCrypt sports 128-bit ECB encryption while the Pro model rocks with 256-bit XTS encryption, but will likely add to the price-tag. This robust data encryption won’t get them top secret clearance though, there’s still no tamper-proofing that really needs to go along with drives that tout security muscles. The DoD is only allowing drives with physical and digital security certifications back on premises. Hopefully, SuperTalent will craft a Pico version soon, and get it FIPS approved. We’re also still waiting on an overdue RAIDDrive from SuperTalent as well. We love press releases, but until it’s on Newegg, it’s just empty words. This latest promise predicts sales in March. We Are holding our breath.
