USB 3.0 has been growing in popularity over recent months, and we have seen many manufacturers, such as Kingston and Corsair releasing a steady stream of high performance drives. Today if you buy a computer you can be assured that there will be at least one USB 3.0 port. If you are already using an older USB 2.0 flash drive is it worth upgrading to a new model?
We have already reviewed a series of high cost, ultimate performance drives, but what if you wanted to aim lower in the price chain? Today we are looking at the latest low cost offering from ADATA – the S107 16GB drive, competitively priced around £25.
ADATA are offering this particular drive in three capacities. 8GB at £14, 16 GB at £21 and 32GB at £43.
Capacity: 8GB/16GB/32GB
Color: Red / Blue
Dimensions: 61.8 x 18.7 x 10.7mm (L x W x H)

bit slow in the write speed, but the 32GB drive seems better value, as its double the size with double the write speed, and no more than twice the price. Where can we buy one, or is this another ADATA paper launch with no stock anywhere in the UK?
