No prices were given, unfortunately, but everything else is pretty clear-cut

Some new flash drives are on the way, courtesy of Elecom, but they won't be here soon at all.

In fact, shipments will only start in October (2012).

Still, USB 3.0 will truly be common by then, perhaps even among Ultrabooks.

Anyway, the MF-MSU3 series comes in four capacity sizes and just as many colors.

That means there will be black, white, pink and blue storage units of 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB and 32 GB.

All of them will get AES-based data encryption and Elecom PASS technology (Password Authenticated Security System).

The MF-MSU3 weigh about 9 grams each and measure 59.0 x 17.5 x 7.8 mm (2.32 x 0.68 x 0.30 inches).
