When it comes to storage devices, solid state drives (SSDs) are the top choice for enthusiasts and they are also quickly coming down in price so the mainstream market can begin to enjoy their mind numbing fast data transfer speeds. SSDs have been on the market for some time now and while they have cured the performance bottleneck internally, a PC's external backup drive is still usually connected to a rather slow High Speed USB 2.0 header. Super Speed USB 3.0 flash drives and external drive enclosures promise up to a 5x performance increase over USB 2.0 devices and are slowly making their way to the market.
