Kioxia has announced its new TransMemory U304 series of USB flash drives. One of the key attributes of the TransMemory U304 series is the slide-click mechanism that allows users to extend and retract the USB-A connector with a single push. This feature includes an auto-return mechanism that retracts the connector automatically once disconnected, helping to prevent damage during transport.

The U304 series comes in three color options: light blue, magenta, and black, offering users a choice based on their personal preference. Additionally, the flash drives are designed with a strap hole, allowing them to be easily attached to bags or keychains, which enhances portability and reduces the risk of losing the device.

Today, addlink Technology Co., Ltd. launches its latest solid state drive. Dubbed “AddGame A93,” this SSD doesn’t have DRAM (in an effort to reduce costs), but it still offers very impressive performance. The drive sports read speeds of up to 7,400MB/s and write speeds up to 6,500MB/s, thanks to its PCIe Gen 4 NVMe interface.

For the Sony PlayStation 5 gamers out there, this SSD could be a dream come true. Not only does it meet the PS5's demanding requirements, but it also fits like a glove in the console's internal expansion bay.

Solid state drives make wonderful internal boot drives for computers, but they are great options for external storage too. Not only are they smaller than mechanical hard disk drives, but they use less power and are much quicker as well. Quite frankly, if you are someone that needs to transport data on a portable drive, you'd be crazy to still use a HDD with moving parts.

Today, Transcend unveils its latest portable solid state drive. Called “ESD310C,” this diminutive drive has the form factor of a flash drive. Making it incredibly versatile, it has both USB-C and USB-A connectors, meaning it is compatible with most computers and devices.
