Sometimes you just need a file transferred onto a flash drive quickly. Enter The Sony MicroVault Mach. These boys are fast. Some would say SuperSpeed fast.

These metal flash drives use the latest USB spec to achieve up to 60MB/s read speeds. The USB 3.0 drives are of course backwards compatible with USB 2.0 ports. The drives use Sony’s tried-and-true “Click and Plug” mechanism that hides the USB connector within the body when the drive is not in use.

Sony has yet to release pricing information on the MicroVault Mach line although they’re supposed to start shipping later this month. Look for them in 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB sizes when they eventually hit stores.
