Were you bored of or unhappy with your common, old and no-longer-cool USB 2.o portable toys? It’s time to enjoy the freshness of a new device once more! The USB 3.o HDD devices have been launched and apparently are fully functional. LucidPort Technologies is currently showcasing its SuperSpeed USB 3.0 storage devices at the Intel Developers Forum (September 22nd to 24th). And you’ll soon be able to get them for yourself.

Here’s a description of the devices from StorageNewsletter.com:
Designed with LucidPort’s USB300 USB 3.0 to SATA bridge chip, these SuperSpeed USB drives can transfer up to 250 Mbytes/sec. Existing USB 2.0 drives run between 25 to 35 Mbytes/sec. These drives are fully backwards compatible to legacy USB 2.0/1.1 hosts and can operate with the standard USB mass storage drivers found in Windows, MacOS, and Linux PCs today.
