14 DAY TRIAL // There is no question that NAND Flash memory has been growing in popularity ever since it started off, so it is no surprise to find that Silicon Power has created yet another USB flash drive unit.
Silicon Power is one of the companies that deals in NAND Flash-based products and it commonly faces off against the likes of Super Talent, Verbatim, Active Media Products, etc.
The flash drive market is, one might say, one that has evolved most rapidly and more or less killed off most of the CD industry.
Such products are small and light, easy to carry in a pocket or on a key chain while having storage capacities that can even rival those of solid state drives.
They also have the same interface for communicating with a host PC, meaning that design and capacity are most relevant in determining their appeal, since data speed can't vary that much from model to model.
That said, Silicon Power definitely played the design card when it created the Blaze 10, which has a geometric pattern created by heat-sensitive ink.
What this means is that, depending on the temperature surrounding it, the pattern will change colors from Turkish blue to blazing red.
There are three capacity options, those being 8 GB, 16 GB and 32 GB, all of them weighing 9.5 grams each and measuring 72.4 x 17.4 x 10 mm.
What's more, they work on not the USB 2.0 connection, but the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 standard, meaning that the data speeds can go as high as 70 MB/s.
Online stores should have the Silicon Power Blaze B10 on sale soon at prices that have not yet been revealed, if they haven't added it already. The retail box itself should feature its own heat-sensitive sticker. Interested users can go to this page for all details.
