USB Drives

My Kingston 101 Data Traveler USB 2.0 , its just too unreliable

This morning , while i was doing some work on my pc.

I was in a rush because need to rush to church. So i copied the stuff into the drive, then i went to the drive in explorer it was blank, so i tried to eject the drive and reinsert it. Something went wrong the pc cannot detect the drive, i thought it was dead (because it had been in the washing machine twice).

So i prayed to God, he answered me when i insert the drive into another USB port. No damage was done. Also sometimes when i transfer my movies it tends to get very slow.

How unrealible is my drive. Anyway this is what i expect to get. A USB 3.0 it has 400 MegaBYTE / Second speed its 10 times faster than currrent 2.0 USB devices. 

A company called Symwave plans to demonstrate at next month's CES the world's first-ever USB 3.0 storage drive. USB 3.0 promises to be 10 times faster than 2.0. Too bad the industry isn't ready yet. 

It's your typical technology chicken-and-egg scenario, which requires, say, laptops with 3.0-compatible USB drives and USB 3.0 capable devices. Which comes first?

It's not clear if Symwave's drive actually comes first. That is, it's not clear whether Symwave will demonstrate an actual product, or a kludge designed to showcase their 3.0 technologies. 

Still, it's a good sign, and one that suggests we could be seeing high-end notebooks with 3.0 compatibility -- plus peripherals that support them -- by the end of the year.

The price for one of these thing might cost rm 300~700 each? (smart guessing lolx)
