EDGE Tech Corp Launches Full Line of SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Products

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EDGE Tech Corp launches a full line of USB 3.0 (aka SuperSpeed) products, including DiskGO® portable and external USB 3.0 hard drives and USB 3.0 laptop and desktop upgrade cards. EDGE is a leading U.S.-based supplier of DRAM and flash memory upgrades, portable computing products, storage devices, and other experience-enhancing technology solutions.

“These upgrade cards are a low cost alternative to buying a new USB 3.0 computer, with the same results.”

Available in portable (for travel) and external (for home) sizes, DiskGO SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Hard Drives sport the fastest USB connection on the market. With speeds of up to 5Gb/s, USB 3.0 is 10 times faster than USB 2.0 (480Mb/s). DiskGO USB 3.0 hard drives can back up HD movies, photo collections, and entire music libraries in seconds when connected to a USB 3.0 port (also backward compatible with USB 2.0 computers). The portable model, which is compact and requires only a USB cable for power, is available in capacities up to 750GB. The external model is available in capacities up to 2TB. Dmailer Backup, software that allows automatic local and online data backups, comes free.

EDGE Tech Corp Product Development Manager, Brandon Coles, said, “With the incredible amount of movies and other digital media that consumers store on their computers today, USB 3.0 storage is a welcome solution.”

“There are many consumers out there that want to take advantage of USB 3.0 speeds, but have older systems,” says Coles. “These upgrade cards are a low cost alternative to buying a new USB 3.0 computer, with the same results.”
