Mushkin Introduces New Atom USB 3.0 Flash Drive

Aus­tin, TX — Dec 18, 2013 — Mush­kin, Inc., an indus­try-lea­ding desi­gner and manu­fac­tu­rer of high-per­for­mance and mis­si­on-cri­ti­cal com­pu­ter pro­ducts, has intro­du­ced the new Atom USB 3.0 flash drive.

The Atom USB 3.0 flash dri­ve empha­si­zes its con­ve­ni­ence with an extre­me­ly small form-fac­tor — just under the size of a quar­ter.   Taking advan­ta­ge of its small sta­tu­re, the Atom reta­ins USB 3.0 extre­me per­for­mance while exer­cis­ing low power con­sump­ti­on.  The Atom USB 3.0 flash dri­ve is also back­wards com­pa­ti­ble with USB 2.0 and 1.1.  The 8GB model offers 80MB/s read, 5.5MB/s wri­te, and con­su­mes 0.65W while idle, or 0.905W at load.  The 16GB flash dri­ve enables 155MB/s read and 11.5MB/s wri­te on 0.25W idle and 0.67W load.  The 32GB model reads at 155MB/s with 21.5MB/s wri­te, and low power con­sump­ti­on of 0.2475W when idle and 0.75W under load.

The minia­tu­re size of the Atom USB 3.0 flash dri­ve enables users to lea­ve the flash dri­ve into the USB port while working on-the-go wit­hout obs­truc­tion.  Bey­ond its pri­ma­ry role as a USB flash dri­ve for exter­nal sto­rage, the Atom offers inher­ent ver­sa­ti­li­ty for tablet and slim note­book users to plug-in and lea­ve as secon­da­ry device sto­rage with its low power usage.

The Atom USB flash dri­ve is desi­gned with ulti­ma­te por­ta­bi­li­ty and con­ve­ni­ence in mind.  Having such a small and accom­mo­da­ting size eli­mi­na­tes the need to eject the flash dri­ve and risk losing it when mobi­le,” said Bri­an Flood, the Direc­tor of Pro­duct Manage­ment at Mush­kin, Inc. “For our users who regu­lar­ly use slim­mer, por­ta­ble devices such as tablets, the Atom is a defi­ni­te solu­ti­on when you need extra sto­rage on a dai­ly basis.”
