14 DAY TRIAL // Wishing to appeal to as many people as possible, I-O Data provided more than one color option when it made the U3-AL Series of flash drives.
The “basic” model uses a dark charcoal grey case, with an almost metallic, shiny finish. On a product measuring 21.5 x 53.5 x 8.0 mm / 0.84 x 2.10 x 0.31 inches, it looks quite strapping. The color is called dark silver actually.
There are light silver, vivid pink and pink gold models too, though. The last two should appeal to female customers.
That said, the newcomers have 8 GB, 16 GB or 32 GB capacities and a transfer speed of up to 108 MB/s, thanks to the USB 3.0 interface (retractable USB port). Shipments will start at the end of the month (October 2013) for an unspecified price.
