This is a quality USB thumb drive with a somewhat fashionable design

Well-known memory and SSD manufacturer, Taipei-headquartered company Silicon Power has just announced a new USB thumb drive with fashionable design.

The new addition to Silicon Power’s flash drive product lineup is called Ultima U03 and features a “simple yet classic elegant design,” as the company’s own press release characterizes it.

We consider it to be plastic-like and generally mediocre, prone to scratches and generally unimpressive, as this is still a USB 2.0 device.

It’s quite puzzling why manufacturers still use the USB 2.0 interface standard, especially since a 32 GB flash drive would take hours to be filled with non-compressed data like office files, photos and similar stuff.

Silicon Power’s Ultima U03 USB series can work in environmental temperatures ranging from 0 to 70 degrees Celsius.

Here are the manufacturer’s official features and specifications:

Product Features: •   Luxurious diamond cut pattern, fashion style •   Special cap-less design with retractable USB connector •   LED indicates the usage status •   SP Widget free download provided   Product Specifications: •   Size: 55.0 mm x 20.0 mm x 8.6 mm •   Weight: 13g •   Interface: USB 2.0 & 1.1 compatible •   Capacity: 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB •   Color: Mystery Black / Snowy White •   Operating temperature: 0° C ~ 70° C •   Supported OS: Windows XP/Vista/7, Mac OS 10.3.x, Linux 2.6.x •   Warranty: Lifetime warranty

Specific pricing information has not yet been made available.
