True or false: USB 2.0 can’t exceed average speeds of 20mb/s? False! It is true that there are some USB 2.0 drives that can exceed the 20mb/s transfer rate, but even today the prices for such custom USB drives is astronomical. Well a company called Easy Co has apparently found the answer to allowing you to speed up your ordinary USB drive without giving up your first born for it. Its called USB SuperCharger.
The service is called USB SuperCharger and price varies depending on the size of the USB drive. With SuperCharger you are able to download and upload files much faster, which can save you valuable minutes per day or even hours a month. If you were to combine this SuperCharger with Premium USB’s USB Preloading service, you could get all your USB drives preloaded with your data and be able to write/read the data more quickly.
SuperCharger also allows users to get extended lifetime out of their USB drives. Most people don’t know that just like CDs or DVDs, USB flash drives also have an expiration date. After so many write/rewrites, the drive effectively becomes useless, but usually this number is in the hundred of thousands. However, if you were to use your USB drive on a daily basis for a couple years, you could approach that number very quickly. The reason it is so easy to achieve the read/write maximum life span is because every time you upload or delete files off the USB drive, the drive has to update all its memory chips to accommodate your additions or deletions. In a nutshell, every time you move a file to or from the USB drive, it counts towards it maximum.
However like all technology there are some requirements or “catches” in order to take advantage of this service. First the program is only available on the Microsoft Platform and works on non-NTFS flash drives. Sorry Mac users, but no compatibility here. Second the speed increase is reliant on the USB drive itself, so results will vary depending on the specifications of the USB drive. Lastly the program that speeds up the USB drive does take up a little bit of space, but it will be hardly notable.
