HP Collaborates With PNY to Create x765w USB 3.0 Flash Drive

PNY is regarded as one of the leading companies in flash memory products and has an excellent reputation. Recently, PNY entered into an agreement with HP to manufacture their latest storage device, the x765w.  The HP x765w supports the USB 3.0 protocol which provides ten times faster speeds than USB 2.0. The drives will be available in a number of capacities ranging from 16GB to 128GB and come with a 2-year warranty as standard. According to the press release, the pen drives feature an ergonomic design which makes it easier to grip and has an anti-fingerprint finish. This should prevent the product from looking slightly worse for wear after hefty use.

The HP x765w weighs 8.8g, measures 10mm x 21mm x 55mm (HxWxL) and has an integrated strap hole. When it comes to performance, the basic 16GB drive can deliver a maximum read speed of 20MB/s and 70MB/s write while the 32GB-128GB models are guaranteed to offer a minimum 30MB/s read and 75MB/s write.  As you can see, this isn’t the fastest set of speeds available today but HP/PNY appear to be targeting a very competitive price point. Unfortunately, this isn’t known as of yet. Personally, it seems an odd decision to release a USB 3.0 drive when USB 3.1 is becoming more popular. Although, it’s a solid product and will be useful to certain PC users.
